New Delhi/IBNS: In another spike in daily coronavirus cases, India reported 46,164 COVID-19 infections in the last 24 hours, the country's health ministry said Thursday.

The new figure is around nine thousand more than what was reported Wednesday.

The COVID-19 toll went up by 604 Thursday.

The recovery rate is presently at 97.63% with 34,159 COVID-19 patients recovering in 24 hours between Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

Meanwhile, Kerala, a south Indian state which had reported the country's first coronavirus case in 2020, witnessed a sharp rise in daily infections Wednesday.

With a 30 per cent increase in daily cases, the state Wednesday reported 31,445 new infections, pushing its total infection count to 38,83,429 and fatalities to 19,972.

The health ministry Thursday stated over 60 crore anti-COVID-19 vaccine doses have so far been administered in the country.
