NEW DELHI: India's total novel corornavirus cases rose to 85,940 on Saturday , taking it past China, where the pandemic originated last year, though a strict lockdown enforced since late March has reduced the rate of contagion.
Health Minister Harsh Vardhan was also encouraged by the slowing rate of infection, as it now takes 11 days for the number of cases to double, whereas before the lockdown cases were doubling every three-and-a-half days. A third of the infections are from the western state of Maharashtra, with Mumbai the worst hit, followed by Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Delhi.
