Northeastern states closing their borders saturday for the biggest jump in the number of cases we have 341 now and these are just confirmed cases peter 6 dead 41 of the confirmed cases are foreign nationals and the concern with india is that it has seen for a population of 1300000000 people 341 doesnt seem like very much but its important to keep in mind that india has performed the lowest number of tests among affected countries Something Like 3 per 1000000 and before theyre introduced now theyre bringing in private hospitals to expand testing but before that they were testing Something Like 90 per day and Health Experts around the country are really concerned that the very low level of testing in india has been hiding the real number of cases so in an effort to contain it to stop the spread from getting into the community the Indian Government has taken all these measures including todays could you know International Commercial flights allowed to land for a week in the last hour or so weve heard from Indian Railways who have canceled all the passenger trains around the country to the end of the month this is one of the Biggest Railway networks in the world the government taking all of these measures to make sure that they try to see.
