While 1,877 more cases and 32 deaths were reported in a single day, the number of active cases of COVID-19 was cut by 15,000 in one and a half months.

In November 2020, the total number of cases had surpassed the figure of 50,000, but then it started decreasing and on Monday the number of active cases in the country was 35,246.

“It is the second time that the number of cases has started dropping. Earlier, after surfacing of COVID-19 in the last week of February 2020, cases started increasing and the number of active cases surpassed well ahead of 50,000. In July active cases started dropping and only 5,831 active cases were left on Sept 13, 2020,” an official of the National Institute of Health said requesting anonymity.
