The Covid toll has now touched 73,890 with 1,115 deaths in the last 24 hours.
The recovery rate has touched 77.32% as about 33 lakh Covid patients have recovered since the outbreak of the virus in late January in India.
Meanwhile, the Centre has allowed the partial reopening of schools from Sept 21, for face-to-face classes on a voluntary basis for the students of 9th-12th grades.
