South Asian countries remained on high alert as more and more confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths were reported on Tuesday.
India's COVID-19 tally reached 26,948,874 with 196,427 new cases registered in the past 24 hours, confirmed the federal health ministry.
This is the first time in one and a half months when the single-day spike has been below 200,000-mark. The death toll reached 307,231 as 3,511 deaths were registered since Monday morning, falling below 4,000 for the first time in the past few days.
The decline in both the number of new cases and deaths per day is being attributed to lockdowns, partial or complete, imposed in most of the states. There are still 2,586,782 active cases in the country, with a decrease of 133,934 cases in the past 24 hours.
