Covid-19 Factoid: Share of recoveries in India's case additions is falling

Since hitting a peak on May 17 - when 3,955 of the 4,987 cases added were recoveries - the number of daily recoveries has dropped to about 3,000, even as total cases added daily are in excess of 5,000

The global tally of coronavirus infections currently stands at 5.12 million. There have been 330,768 deaths worldwide, and more than 2 million recoveries. On May 20, a little over 100,000 cases were added to the global tally in a single day. However, the number of new daily deaths has been declining, oscillating between 3,000 and 5,000, much lower than the peak of 8,000-plus in mid-April.

In India, the confirmed case count is now at 112,359, with 3,435 fatalities and 45,300 recoveries. Maharashtra remains the most affected state, with its case count inching towards the 40,000 mark less than a week after
