India’s coronavirus cases numbers: On Saturday, 392,488 new cases of coronavirus infections were detected in India, about 9,500 less than the previous day’s tally of 401,993.
For the entire month of April, the daily count of cases increased on every single day, except on Mondays, when the cases decline owing to relatively lesser number of tests conducted on a Sunday.
On Saturday, more than 18 lakh samples were tested, which was less than over 19 lakh tests conducted on two previous two days, but more than any other day.
The active cases in the state have been going down steadily for the last ten days, from a peak of 7 lakh achieved on April 22, to 6.63 lakh now.
A similar trend is visible in the case of Delhi as well, where the daily count of cases has been in the 20,000s for the last two weeks.
The decline in Maharashtra, and hopefully in Delhi as well in the next few days, is expected to bring down the daily count of cases in the country.
Uttar Pradesh, the other state with a potential to see its case numbers explode, has also seen its case numbers remaining relatively stable for the last ten days.
April has seen a more than five-fold jump in active cases in the country, from about six lakh to over 33 lakh now.
This is not an unexpected trend, considering that both the recoveries and the deaths, the two lagging indicators, have been rising in the last few days.
