India's Fatality Rate Among Lowest In The World: MoHFW

Addressing the media, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's Lav Agarwal said that India's COVID-19 fatality rate is among the lowest in the world. Agarwal said that at 2.87%, India's fatality rate is well below the global rate of 6.45% and lower than that of countries like France, Belgium, Italy and the UK. Agarwal also said that India reported 10.7 cases per lakh, much lower than the global average of 69.9.

However, India has reported more than 6000 new cases everyday for the past four days which has been used as an indicator by experts that India might hit its peak in June or July.
