India Reports More Than 357,000 New Covid Cases as Total Crosses 20 Million

India s first cases were detected in late January last year and the country s total did not cross 10 million infections until December, according to Johns Hopkins University data. But the next 10 million cases were reported in the span of just under five months, mostly in April. So far, at least 222,408 people have died from the disease, but that number is likely lower than the actual death toll. Media reports suggest crematoriums and burial grounds are overwhelmed with bodies of those who died from Covid-19.

India s COVID-19 Immunization Drive Sputters

India s COVID-19 Immunization Drive Sputters Voice of America 04 May 2021, 23:05 GMT+10 MUMBAI - As India reels from a second wave of COVID-19 infections that is devastating major cities, stockpiles are falling short of surging demand in the country, health experts warn. The country s mass immunization bid to expand its vaccination drive to all adults is posing to be a herculean task, they say. India opened vaccinations to those who are 18 years of age and older this month. Although it is the world s largest vaccine manufacturer, the approximately 70 million shots for COVID-19 being produced per month cannot address the massive needs of the world s second most populous country, health experts say.
