Though India's daily new Covid cases have remained under 50,000 for the better part of November, there has been a steady rise in active cases, or number of patients currently being treated for COVID-19. This number stood at 4.4 lakh this morning on the back of spike in infection rate in many smaller states including Rajasthan, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Punjab. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said people's lax attitude was responsible for rise in cases. People have started thinking, India has a good recovery rate so we will recover even if we get Covid, he said after discussing vaccine distribution with chief ministers of all states.
