New Delhi: Delhi recorded 381 fresh Covid-19 cases on Sunday with a positivity rate of 0.50%, the seventh day in a row that the count has remained below 1%. While both the numbers are the lowest in nearly three months, the 34 Covid-19 fatalities recorded in the last 24 hours is the lowest in 59 days.
The last time the capital, which is battling its deadliest wave of Covid-19, recorded a positivity rate of less than 0.50% was on March 9, when it was 0.48%. The fresh cases on Sunday were the lowest since March 10, when 370 cases were recorded.
Sunday’s 34 deaths are the lowest since April 8, when 24 people succumbed to the disease. The overall toll on Sunday stood at 24,591, with a case fatality rate of 1.72%. After snatching away more than 13,000 lives in April and May — on May 3, 448 fatalities were recorded, the highest in a single day since the outbreak — the count has been slowly dipping.
Although the number of fresh Covid-19 cases and the positivity rate have dipped significantly from the peak of 28,395 daily cases recorded on April 20 and the positivity rate of 36.24% recorded on April 22, the death toll remained high for a longer time.
