Covid-19 cases, as per updated data by Union Health Ministry. Nearly 4100 deaths including backlog death cases from some states were reported in the last 24 hours.
While the Covid-19 active caseload stood at 16,741 on Saturday, as per the Health Ministry data. The cumulative vaccination administered in the country reached 1,82,87,68,476, the data further revealed.
Additionally, in view of the continuous dip in coronavirus cases, the Home Ministry earlier this week decided to end all Covid-19 containment measures from March 31, two years after their implementation following the outbreak of the pandemic.
However, wearing of face mask and maintaining social distancing norms will continue as earlier. The Central government had on March 24, 2020 issued for the first time orders and guidelines under the Disaster Management Act, (DM Act) 2005 for the containment of Covid-19 in the country and these have been modified on various occasions.
