India's total COVID-19 active caseload has dropped to below 3,59,819, and comprises just 3.66 per cent of the total infections. In a statement, the ministry said the drop has been possible due to recoveries exceeding daily new cases and the low number of fatalities per day.

"The daily new recoveries recorded in the country have been more than the daily cases registered since the last 15 days. The number of daily new cases in the last 24 hours is 30,006, while 33,494 cases recovered and discharged during the same duration," the ministry said.
