LATEST 5 MILLION CASES IN 15 DAYS

The outbreak of the viral disease that began in Wuhan, China, nearly a year and a half ago, started in India on March 3, 2020. From then, it took 197 days for the Indian tally to reach 5 million on September 15, 2020. But with the first wave of the outbreak peaking in September, this rate slowed down towards the end of 2020. From there, it took another 94 days to touch the 10 million mark on December 18. The next five million cases took another 121 days. However, with the latest wave raging at its worst ever, it has only taken 15 days for the latest 5 million cases.
