New Delhi: More than 7,42,417 cases have been reported in India, with 2,64,944 active novel coronavirus cases.

So far, 20,642 people have died, while 4,56,830 have recovered since the first case was recorded in Kerala in January. One Covid-19 patient has been recorded as a migrated case, according to the Union health ministry.

The government began its phased ‘unlockdown’ from 8 June, with extensive relaxations including opening of religious places, shopping malls and restaurants. Public transport, except metro services, have also resumed operations.

In a meeting with chief ministers last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the focus should now be on reducing the transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus while gradually increasing public activity.

Here is a quick reckoner of the pandemic — from information about the virus to safety measures and FAQs.
