However, Bengal reported 15 more Covid-19 casualties, which has taken the total pandemic toll to 555. Of the 414 new Covid-19 cases reported on Sunday, over 98 per cent came from districts with a high volume of returnees. However, a Bengal minister spoke about two major positives — rise in recoveries and tests. The total recoveries are now decisively higher than the total active cases and that gap is likely to widen,” the minister said. Bengal also reported 10,549 Covid-19 tests in 24 hours, the highest yet, taking the total test count to 401,491.
