The government on Friday stressed on vaccination and following COVID-19 protocols. The second wave of the pandemic is not over yet.
Seventy-one districts reported Covid case positivity rate of more than 10 per cent in the week from June 23 to 29.
On the ongoing vaccination drive, the government said India is vaccinating on an average 50 lakh individuals daily since June 21, which is equivalent to inoculating the entire population of Norway every day.
Till date 34 crore people -- the equivalent of the entire population of the US -- have been vaccinated with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine since the drive began on January 16. Modi government feels proud of it.
India saw a single-day rise of 46,617 new coronavirus infections, taking the tally of COVID-19 cases to 3,04,58,251, while the national recovery rate has crossed 97 per cent, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Friday.
