Covid-19: Infections Go From Bad To Worse In India

In just 24 hours India has recorded over 100,000 Covid-19 cases, its highest single-day rise since the start of the pandemic.

On Sunday India breached the critical mark of 100,000 Covid-19 infections in a single dayΒ for the first time since the pandemic began last year. The sub-continent thus became the second country after the United States to achieve the grim milestone.

India now has 12.5 million cases, the third-highest total globally, and about 164,000 reported deaths. Out of India’s total cases, the western state of Maharashtra alone accounted for 57,700 cases, its highest ever single-day spike.
