The recovery rate among COVID-19 patients has risen to 66.31 percent, while the fatality rate has further dropped to 2.10 percent, the data stated.
The health ministry also said that the number of recovered patients is now double than the number of active cases.
According to the ICMR, a cumulative total of 2,08,64,750 samples have been tested up to 2 August with 6,61,892 samples being tested on Monday, the highest done in a day so far, scientist and media coordinator at ICMR, Dr Lokesh Sharma, said.

There are 917 labs in the government sector and 439 labs in the private sector for conducting COVID-19 tests.
Dharmenda Pradhan, Siddaramaiah tests COVID-19 positive
Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan informed that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Taking to Twitter, Pradhan said that he has been hospitalised as per doctor's advice and is in a healthy condition.
"I decided to get myself tested after noticing some symptoms of COVID-19 and my report came back positive. As per the doctor's advice, I have admitted myself in a hospital and I am in healthy condition," his tweet read.
Union Minister Amit Shah also tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.
Other politicians testing positive for COVID-19 include Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa.
Earlier on Tuesday, former Karnataka chief minister and Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, Siddaramaiah said that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and admitted himself to a hospital.
"I have been tested positive for COVID-19 and also been admitted to the hospital on the advice of doctors as a precaution. I request all those who had come in contact with me to check out for symptoms and to quarantine themselves," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
Centre says 68% men, 32% women make up COVID-19 casualties
The Union Health Ministry said that of the people who died due to coronavirus in the country, 68 percent are men and 32 percent are women.
Union Health secretary Rajesh Bhushan gave mortality analysis for COVID-19 — gender and age-wise respectively.
"These are cumulative figures. If you see the mortality analysis i.e. the deaths caused by the coronavirus, you will find that 68 percent deaths are reported among male patients. And 32 percent of deaths are among female patients. This is broadly in line with the global scenario also, although the percentages may differ," he said.
"If you look at age-wise mortality analysis, 50 percent of deaths were reported in patients above 60 years and above; 37 percent deaths were seen in among patients with the age group of 45 to 60 years. This means that on one side — we have to save lives of our senior citizens, they should not go out unnecessary — and, on the other hand, we have to see that people between 45 to 60 years age group are also vulnerable too. Most importantly, those who are co-morbid should follow guidelines and everyone should wear mask, maintain distance and hand hygiene," Bhushan said.
According to the health ministry, about 11 percent mortality was seen in patients with 26 to 44 years of age. Only one percent fatality was observed in patients in the age group between 18 to 25 years and below 17 years of age.
Centre says 96% of 60,000 ventilators being procured are indigenous
In a briefing on the coronavirus situation in the country, the Union health ministry on Tuesday said that 96 percent of the 60,000 ventilators being procured by the government are indigenous and most of them have been sponsored by the PM-CARES fund.
Health Ministry secretary Rajesh Bhushan said 60,000 ventilators are being procured and 18,000 have already been supplied to states and union territories.
"Of the 60,000 ventilators, 50,000 are being funded by PM-CARES fund which comes to about Rs 2,000 crore in monetary terms," Bhushan said during the briefing.
He further said all the ventilators that are being procured under PM-CARES and those by the budgetary allocation of the Health Ministry have GPS chips embedded that can be tracked.
"The 'Make in India' (indigenous) ventilators have a share of more than 96 percent by volume and more than 90 percent by value," he said.
Delhi's LNJP records 'zero deaths' on two days in a week
The LNJP Hospital, the Delhi government's biggest COVID-19 treatment facility, did not report any death due to the disease on two days in a week, signalling improvement in the pandemic situation.
The 2,000-bed hospital's medical director Suresh Kumar said on Tuesday the number of people on ventilator at the facility has come down by nearly 25 percent, compared to the figure a month ago.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted on 28 July that LNJP Hospital had not reported any death on 27 July, a feat, doctors said, recorded for the first time in the last couple of months.
"After that day, on two more days, our hospital saw no death from COVID-19.... It is definitely a good sign for all of us who are fighting this situation," Kumar told PTI.
WHO chief scientist says India's COVID-19 testing rate is low
Noting that lockdown was a temporary measure to contain the spread of coronavirus, a senior official of the World Health Organisation on Tuesday said India has a low testing rate when compared to some of the countries that are successfully trying to curb it.
WHO chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, in an interactive session through video conference said, as of now about 28 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are under clinical trial, of which five are entering Phase-II and over 150 candidates are in pre-clinical trials across the globe.
"(In) India as a whole, the testing rates are much lower compared to some of the countries, who have done well like Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan. Even the United States is testing a huge number of people. So we need to have some benchmark and every public health department needs to have benchmarks on what is the rate of testing per lakh or per million, what is the test positivity rate," she said.
Without adequate number of tests, fighting the virus is like "fighting fire blindfolded," she pointed out. According to Swaminathan, the number of tests being conducted is not adequate if the COVID-19 test positivity rate is above five percent.
State-wise cases and deaths
Maharashtra continues to be the worst-affected state as it has a total of 1,47,324 active cases and 15,842 deaths. A total of 4,50,196 coronavirus cases have been recorded in the state up to Monday, according to Union Ministry of Health.

COVID-19 and the Changes to MOTs for cars, motorcycles and light vans
DVSA have announced that from 30 March 2020, any cars, motorcycles or light vans will have their MOT due dates extended by 6 months.
While the extension is in place, the DVSA systems will recognise that the existing MOT certificate is valid, so that these vehicles can continue to be taxed.
Vehicles should be taxed online at gov.uk, or over the telephone 0300 1234 32 where possible.
Vehicles should only be taxed using the post office facilities if that journey is essential.
What you need to do:
Vehicles with MOT expiry dates on or before 29 March 2020. Different rules apply to vehicles with an MOT certificate which expired on 29 March 2020 or earlier. The steps which you need to take next depend on whether or not you have symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid19).
If your MOT certificate/tax disk has expired, you must only drive your vehicle to/from a repair or to an arranged MOT test.
You are not self isolating or deemed “vulnerable” for health reasons:
You should book your MOT as soon as possible. Garages and MOT test centres are able to stay open for this purpose. This applies to vehicles which have failed their MOTs, as well as those certificates that have expired.
You should only book your MOT if you need to use your vehicle for essential travel, either to/from work, to shop for basic necessities or for medical supplies. Once the MOT is done, you will be able to download your vehicle’s certificate when checking your vehicle’s MOT history. In an attempt to prevent the spread of the virus, you will not be provided with a paper copy.
You or a member of your household has symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid19)
You must follow Public Health England guidance and self isolate. The DfT are currently working with insurers and the police to ensure that motorists are not unfairly penalised during this time.
In the meantime, if your vehicle’s tax is due to expire before an MOT can be done, you should register the vehicle as off the road. You can do this if the following apply; your vehicle’s MOT has, or is due to run out, your tax is due to run out and you cannot arrange an MOT as you are self isolating. If all of these factors apply, you should register your vehicle as off road (SORN).
Once you are able to stop self isolating, you should arrange your vehicle’s tax and MOT as soon as possible.
You are “vulnerable” to Coronavirus (Covid19)
You must follow Public Health England guidance and remain at home without face-to-face contact (“shielding”). You should not arrange your vehicle’s MOT during this time. The DfT are currently working with insurers and the police to ensure that motorists are not unfairly penalised during this time.
If your vehicle’s MOT falls due while you are shielding, you should follow the steps outlined above to SORN your vehicle.
When you no longer need to be shielding, you should arrange your vehicle’s tax and MOT as soon as possible.
Vehicles with expiry dates on or after 30 March 2020
All MOT certificates on cars, motorcycles, vans and other light vehicles will be automatically extended for 6 months and no action is needed from you to affect this change. You must however maintain your vehicle and ensure that it remains safe to drive.
This applies to vehicles which are due their first MOT test as well as those with existing certificates which are due to expire.
The updated MOT due date for your vehicle should show on your MOT history from the day it should have become due. You can check this here.
In an effort to prevent the spread of Coronavirus (Covid19), the DVLA will not be producing paper MOT certificates. It is therefore important that you check the link above.
Once the MOT expiry date has been updated, you will be able to tax your vehicle.
Ensuring your vehicle is safe (“roadworthy”)
The obligation to ensure your vehicle is roadworthy remains while the MOT certificate is extended. A failure to do so could result in a £2,500 fine and 3 points on your licence, if the vehicle is driven whilst not roadworthy. The government is allowing garages to remain open for repairs.
For LGV operator licence holders who also run small commercial vehicles (vans) while those smaller vehicles (those under 3.5 tonnes) are not subject to operator licensing they can be stopped by the DVSA or Police and issued with roadworthiness prohibitions if found to be un-roadworthy.
The issue of such a prohibition will go against your operator’s licence even though that vehicle is not specified on your licence so it is particularly important to ensure such vehicles are well maintained and should, as a matter of best practice, be the subject of a driver’s daily walk around inspection.
Details of how to maintain vehicles in a roadworthy condition can be found here and here.

And 32 percent of deaths are among female patients. This is broadly in line with the global scenario also, although the percentages may differ," he said.
"If you look at age-wise mortality analysis, 50 percent of deaths were reported in patients above 60 years and above; 37 percent deaths were seen in among patients with the age group of 45 to 60 years. This means that on one side — we have to save lives of our senior citizens, they should not go out unnecessary — and, on the other hand, we have to see that people between 45 to 60 years age group are also vulnerable too.
