India reports 3.92 lakh daily Covid cases
India’s daily tally of new Covid infections continues to be a picture of worry, with the latest count for Sunday (last 24 hours) coming in at 3,92,488 along with a record daily deaths of 3,689 till 8 am this morning.
This latest count is, however, lower than yesterday’s 4,01,993 new infections. The last 24 hours to Saturday saw 3,523 deaths in a single day.
From April 27, India has been consistently recording over 3.5 lakh cases on a daily basis, putting pressure on the crumbling health infrastructure, especially in metros.
“Ten States including Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan report 72.72 per cent of the new cases. Maharashtra has reported the highest daily new cases at 63,282. It is followed by Karnataka with 40,990 while Kerala reported 35,636 new cases,” the Health Ministry said in a statement.
