Covid case Update: India reports 8,309 new cases

According to data from the union health ministry, India reported 8,309 coronavirus infections and 236 deaths in a 24-hour period on Monday. The number of single-day recoveries was at 9,905, while active cases fell by 1,832. With this, India’s total number of cases has risen to 3.45 crore. 4,68,790 persons died as a result of Covid-19 infection, whereas 3.40 crore recovered. At the moment, India’s active caseload is at 1,03,859, accounting for 0.30 percent of total cases.

Meanwhile, India’s Covid-19 vaccination coverage has crossed the 122 crore milestone. Of the total 122 crore, 78.33 crore have been given single Covid-19 shots and 44.01 crore are fully vaccinated.

Despite the fact that India’s Covid cases have continued to decline, the union health ministry amended foreign arrivals criteria due to concerns about the Omicron Covid-19 variant.

The guidelines require passengers to submit the self-declaration form on the online Air Suvidha Portal before the scheduled travel and to submit the last 14 days’ travel details.

The guidelines also mandated the uploading of negative RT-PCR test reports on the Air Suvidha portal before the journey. The test should have been conducted within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey.

So far, India has not reported any case of Omicron variant but yesterday a passenger from South Africa who returned to Maharashtra was found positive for Covid-19. It is unclear whether the passengers have got infected by the new variant.
