INDIA NOW HAS MORE THAN THREE MILLION ACTIVE CASES

Active cases of Covid-19 infection in India crossed 3 million (3,084,797) on Wednesday, with the burgeoning second wave of cases showing no signs of abating as the already creaky health care infrastructure in the country buckled under the public health crisis.

On Wednesday, India breached its own record of new cases, adding 379,423 infections in a day – the highest daily tally for any country since the pandemic began last year. It also reported a record 3,643 more deaths that took the country’s total toll to 204,830.
