BENGALURU: India reported a record 412,262 Covid-19 cases and a record daily death toll of 3,980 yesterday, as a second wave of infections moved from cities into the vast countryside.
Coronavirus infections in the world s second-most populous nation have surged past 21 million, with the total death toll at 230,168, according to Health Ministry data.
The crisis has been most acute in the capital, New Delhi, but the challenge in rural areas - home to nearly 70 per cent of India s 1.3 billion people - is also immense because public healthcare there is limited. The situation has become dangerous in villages, said Mr Suresh Kumar, a field coordinator with Manav Sansadhan Evam Mahila Vikas Sansthan, a human rights charity. In some villages where the charity works in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh - home to about 200 million people - there are deaths in almost every second house, he said.
