NEW DELHI: Even though the total number of COVID-19 cases has climbed to 2.07 lakh, India has witnessed over 1 lakh recoveries at the rate of 48.31 per cent on Wednesday.
With an increase of 8,909 fresh cases in the last 24 hours, the total tally climbed to 2,07,615 and 4,776 new recoveries in a single day took the total cured patients’ tally to 1,00,303.
In a fresh development at the country’s top defence establishment in South Block on the Raisina Hill complex here, Union Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar has tested positive for COVID-19.
Sources said Defence minister Rajnath Singh and some other top military and civilian officers did not attend their offices on Wednesday after the report of Kumar testing positive sent shock waves.
“Extensive contact tracing and major disinfection of offices in South Block is underway. There is a list of around 30 people who came in close contact with the defence secretary over the last couple of days. They have been told to go into self-quarantine,” said a source.
Notably, it took 110 days to reach the 1 lakh-mark and in just 15 days the 2 lakh-milestone of Coronavirus cases was crossed. An increase of 217 fatalities in a single day took the total tally of deaths to 5,815 and of the total confirmed cases, 1,01,497 are said to be active ones.
