New Delhi, Feb 22, 2021:     With 14,199 fresh cases, India’s COVID-19 tally has climbed to 1,10,05,850, while the number of recoveries has surged to 1,06,99,410, the Union health ministry said on Monday.

 

The death count due to the viral disease has gone up to 1,56,385 in the country with 83 more fatalities reported in a 24-hour period, the ministry’s data updated at 8 am showed.

Meanwhile, The United States was on the brink Sunday of the grim milestone of 5,00,000 Covid-related deaths since the start of the pandemic, as the nation’s top virus expert warned a semblance of normalcy may not return until the end of the year.

Signs of hope were emerging in the rollout of vaccines and the dropping off of a massive winter spike in infections, but the heavy deaths continue to mount in a nation that has reported the most fatalities and cases in the world.
