The COVID-19 active caseload in India has dipped to 4.03 lakh, the lowest after 138 days, comprising 4.18 per cent of the total Coronavirus infections reported so far in the country, the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday. The total active cases were 4,02,529 on July 21. Continuing with the trend of the last nine days, India has reported more daily recoveries than daily new cases in a span of 24 hours.

"The trend of more daily recoveries than the daily cases has led to a continuous contraction of India's COVID-19 active caseload which presently consists of just 4.18 per cent of the total cases," the ministry said. While 30,655 people in India were found to be infected with COVID-19 in a span of 24 hours, 36,627 new recoveries were registered during the same period. The new recoveries have led to a net decline of 6,441 in the total active cases.
