India's national cumulative Covid-19 positivity rate has fallen under 8%, an update from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare stated today. This trend has been sustained without a break for four days. The cumulative Positivity Rate is 7.94% now and is on a continuous decline. This has been brought about by high level of comprehensive country-wide testing. The total tests have crossed 9.5 crores today. India continues to report a trend of steadily declining active cases. For the third day after the active cases dropped below the 8 lakh mark after a month and a half, the progressive decline continues. India's active caseload stands at 7,72,055 today. Presently the active cases comprise merely 10.23% of the total positive cases of the country. The total recovered cases are more than 66 Lakhs (66,63,608) thereby enhancing the difference with respect to the active cases.
