New Delhi/IBNS: The rate at which people in India were getting infected with Novel Coronavirus in the last few days lowered on Monday, as slightly more than 61,000 new Covid-19 cases and 836 deaths due to the contagion were recorded in the last 24 hours.

With fresh 61,408 new cases, the Covid-19 tally touched 31,06,349 while the toll across the country of 36 states and union territories reached 57,542.

As of now, 23,38,036 of the total number of people infected with the virus since the outbreak of the disease in late January in India have cured or discharged or migrated, according to the data of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Meanwhile, the central government on Sunday said a consistently increasing number of recoveries in Coronavirus cases has pushed India's recovery rate amongst the Covid-19 patients to nearly 75 percent.

Currently at 1.86% (as per the data provided by the government on Sunday), India’s Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is one of the lowest globally.

However, several medical experts have warned that the poor health infrastructure of India could get overwhelmed if the infection rate increases heavily.
