NEW DELHI - India reported 16,000 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, its highest daily increase since the outbreak began, and the government called in the army to manage new treatment centres with thousands of additional hospital beds in New Delhi.
Cases are expected to keep rising as state governments ease restrictions in place since lockdown was first imposed in late March. The home ministry said the city would have around 20,000 additional beds available by next week at temporary facilities run by army doctors and nurses. "Armed Forces personnel have been detailed for providing medical care and attention to COVID-19 patients housed in the Railway coaches in Delhi," Home Minister Amit Shah said.
