India has the world's second-highest caseload, but daily infections have dipped steadily since hitting a peak in September. Of its 9.74 million total cases, around 370,000 are active patients, currently infected with COVID-19. Daily cases have stayed below the 50,000-mark since Nov 8, despite a busy festival season that saw crowded markets and streets. Deaths rose by 402, the ministry said, with the total now at 141,360.
