India's case fatality falls below 2.5 percent
New Delhi: India’s Case Fatality Rate has fallen below 2.5 percent, the central government said on Sunday.
"The Case Fatality Rate is progressively falling and currently, it is 2.49%. India has one of the lowest fatality rates in the world," read a government statement.
Many States have conducted the population surveys to map and identify the vulnerable population like the elderly, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities.
This, with the help of technological solutions like Mobile Apps, has ensured keeping the high-risk population under continuous observation, thus aiding early identification, timely clinical treatment and reducing fatalities.
At the ground level, frontline health workers like ASHAs and ANMs have done a commendable job of managing the migrant population and to enhance awareness at the community level.
As a result, there are 29 States and UTs with CFR lower than the India average. 5 States and UTs have a CFR of Zero.
14 States and UTs have a CFR of less than 1%.
