This is the lowest daily growth rate recorded since India crossed 100 positive coronavirus cases last month. The data was revealed at a high-level Group of Ministers (GoM) meeting chaired by Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan.The GoM was also told the death rate is around 3.1 per cent and the recovery rate is over 20 per cent, “which is comparatively better than other countries and may be taken as a positive effect of the lockdown, along with cluster management and containment strategy”, the Health Ministry said.
