The Times of India Hyderabad|August 12, 2020
New Delhi: It could be early days yet, but there’s a hint of good news amid surging Covid-19 infections in India — the growth in active cases has distinctly slowed in August. In the first 10 days of this month, active coronavirus cases grew by half the number as in the previous 10 days despite a big surge in infections.

The daily case count in the country was back above 60,000 after dipping on Monday. Fresh cases on Tuesday rose to 61,531, taking the total caseload past 23 lakh, as per data from state governments.

Deaths reported on Tuesday were 852, a slight dip from the numbers in the past two days, while total recoveries rose to over 16.3 lakh. Active cases grew by nearly 5,000 to 6,46,927.

In the 10 days before that (July 12-21), India’s active case had risen by nearly 1.2 lakh.
