New Delhi/IBNS: India, a vast country of 1.3 billion people, reported over 78,000 Covid-19 cases on Friday taking the overall tally of infections to 68.35 lakh.
In 24 hours between Thursday and Friday mornings, 78,524 new infections and 971 deaths apparently due to Covid-19 were reported.
1,05,525 people infected with the virus have so far died in the country since the first Covid-19 case was reported in the southern state of Kerala in late January this year.
The country's recovery rate has continued to improve as the number of discharged cases exceeded the figure of new cases for the three consecutive weeks from Sept 18 to Oct 8.
India's Health Ministry tweeted in the morning, "New Recoveries in India have exceeded the New Cases for 3 continuous weeks, unabated. The new cases during these 3 weeks have displayed a steady trend of decline."
