New Delhi: Early detection of COVID-19 cases through widespread testing, surveillance and clinical management has resulted in India having one of the lowest fatality rate at 2.66 per cent, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said on Sunday.
The minister, who visited the Sardar Patel COVID Care Centre (SPCCC) at Chhattarpur to review its COVID-19 management status, also said that “our success” can be seen in the recovery rate which is almost 63 per cent at present. The 10,200-bed SPCC has been developed at the Radha Soami Satsang Beas as part of coordinated efforts of the Centre and the Delhi government to bolster containment measures, the health ministry said in a statement. Briefing reporters after his visit, Vardhan said India’s clinical protocol has focused on early detection through widespread testing, surveillance, prompt triaging and clinical management of cases.
“This has resulted in one of the lowest case fatality rate of 2.66 per cent. Our success can be seen in the recovery rate which is almost 63 per cent with more than 5.3 lakh patients recovered,” he was quoted as saying in the statement. (PTI)
