India becomes third country to pass 4 million coronavirus cases COVID19
India has become the world's third country to pass 4 million coronavirus infections, setting a new record daily surge in cases on Saturday as the crisis shows no sign of peaking.
While the government has eased restrictions in a bid to revive the economy, India now has the world's fastest growing number of cases at more than 80,000 a day and the highest daily death toll at more than 1,000. The pandemic is now spreading through rural areas which have poor health facilities but is also resurging in big cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
Shamika Ravi, an economics professor and former government advisor who has closely followed pandemic trends in India, said that India is "nowhere close" to a peak and Maharashtra must become the "focus" of the campaign against the coronavirus.
