Coronavirus LIVE Updates: "In a landmark global achievement", India has overtaken the US to become No.1 in terms of coronavirus recoveries, accounting for close to 19 per cent of the total global recoveries. According to the Union health ministry figures released on Sunday morning, total coronavirus cases in India has crossed the 53-lakh mark, while the country's death toll has touched 85,619. In a major development, the DCGI has approved the commercial launch of 'Feluda', the Tata CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) Covid-19 test. The Tata CRISPR test achieves accuracy levels of traditional RT-PCR tests with quicker turnaround time, less expensive equipment and better ease of use. Meanwhile, Britain is likely to reintroduce some national coronavirus lockdown measures "sooner rather than later", as new cases rose to their highest level since early May.
