New Delhi/IBNS: India recorded 4,03,738 fresh Covid cases and 4,092 deaths in the last 24 hours, the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday.
The fresh infections have pushed the overall case count to 2.22 crore.
The country has been witnessing over 4 lakh daily infections for the fifth time in a week and over 4,000 deaths for the second straight day.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Saturday constituted a twelve-member National Task Force (NTF) to streamline the scientific allocation of Liquid Medical Oxygen across the country to deal with the shortage of life-saving gas amid virulent second wave of COVID-19 pandemic.
A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and MR Shah asserted that the task force has medical experts and doctors from across the country as its members and will have the Cabinet Secretary to the central government as its convenor.
To combat the crisis, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has approved the emergency use of DRDO's anti-COVID-19 therapeutic oral drug 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) as an adjunct therapy in moderation to severe COVID-19 patients.
