More than 34,000 positive cases along with 671 deaths reported in India in the last 24 hours. Also, total positive cases stand at 10,38,716, including 3,58,692 active cases in the country.
India has now become the third country in the world where cases of corona infected patients have crossed one million. The United States became the first nation to cross one million cases of Kovid-19, in the United States on April 28. In the US, it took only 49 days to reach one million cases to one million.
Lower Rate of Testing in India
Till date, 1.31 crore people have been tested in India. If we talk on the basis of population, India has so far tested 9,567 patients for every one million people. At the same time, America has done 1,39,455 tests per ten population. America’s positivity rate is 8.1 percent while India’s positivity rate is 7.7 percent.
So far more than 25,000 people have died due to Covid-19 in India, due to which the corona virus death rate in the country is 2.5%. This rate is much lower than the number of patients dying in Italy, France and Spain, where Covid-19 patients have a mortality rate of over nine percent.
But even this data does not prove that corona virus is less deadly in India than in European countries. Experts believe that the death rate in India is lower than Italy because India is a young country and the average number of infected patients in India is only young. In young people, the symptoms of corona virus appear to be less severe or it has been seen that the death of young people due to corona virus is more.
