During last 24 hours, 7,419 Covid-19 patients were declared cured. The recovery rate has now risen to 51.08% even as India’s tally stands at 3,32,424. There have been 9,520 casualties so far. According to the MoHFW, more than 70% of the casualties were due to comorbidities.

The number of government labs for Covid-19 testing has been increased to 653 and private labs increased to 248 (a total of 901), the government said according to ANI.

Meanwhile, amid a surge in Covid-19 cases in the national capital, the Delhi government on Monday ordered private and government laboratories to work at full capacity and increase their scale of testing for Covid-19.

Many states have also begun to cap prices of Covid-19 tests at private labs amid complaints of the high cost of testing. Last week, Maharashtra halved the price of testing.
