According to the data released by the Union Health Ministry on Sunday, India recorded 93,249 new COVID-19 cases, 60,048 discharges, and 513 deaths in the last 24 hours. With this, the country's coronavirus caseload has climbed to 1.24 crore, of which, 6.91 lakh are active cases.
The sudden rise in COVID-19 cases has led to Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking a high-level meeting to review the COVID-19 pandemic situation and vaccination program in the country.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra continued to remain worst-affected state as it recorded 49,447 new cases in the last 24 hours. Karnataka registered 4,991 new cases, while Chhattisgarh reported 4,174 new cases.

"It was emphasized that the Centre shall continue to provide all resources and support to all States and UTs for public health measures and clinical management for fighting COVID-19," the MoHFW had said in a press statement.
