1st time since Covid outbreak, weekly cases fall in all states

For the first time since the Covid-19 virus spread through the country in March, all states and Union Territories (UT) registered a week-on-week decline in fresh cases last week, indicating that the pandemic was receding across India, at least for now. ​​The only exception was the UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, which reported all of nine cases through the week (December 21-27), two more cases than the count in the previous seven days.
