New Delhi: India recorded over 4 lakh new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, as per Ministry of Health released data on Saturday.

The total number of new cases registered during the period is 4,01,993.

During the same period, 3523 deaths due to the virus were also registered.

The death toll due to the virus now stands at 2,11,853.

In the past 24 hours, 2,99,988 people have been discharged.

According to experts' estimation based on a mathematical model, India's coronavirus cases may peak next week between May 3 and 5.

"Our belief is that by next week, the daily new cases nationwide would have peaked," M Vidyasagar, head of a government-appointed group of scientists modelling the trajectory of infections, told media.

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) data: 28,83,37,385 samples tested up to April 30 for COVID-19. Of these, 19,45,299 samples were tested yesterday.

Since January 16, 2021, a total of 15,49,89,635 people have been administered COVID-19 vaccines across the nation with 27,44,485 doses being given in the last 24 hrs.

The third phase of vaccination for those in the age group of 18-44 years starts today even as several states - Delhi, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Kerala, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh - have said they're running low on stocks. The government, however, has countered them saying 1 crore doses are still available with the states.
