THE ISSUE India has seen more than 20 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, and more than 226,000 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. The New York Times reported this Wednesday: âOfficial estimates of the nationwide infection toll â well above 300,000 a day â are probably undercounted, epidemiologists say. The reported figure will mostly likely rise to 500,000 cases a day by August, they say, leaving as many as one million of Indiaâs 1.4 billion people deadâ from COVID-19. Lancaster County is still considered an area of high risk for coronavirus transmission, but trends appear to be moving in the right direction. As LNP | LancasterOnline reports, âinfection rates remain high and spread of the virus remains a major concern,â but âcase and hospitalization rates are now showing improvement as more than half of the countyâs adult population is now at least partially vaccinated against the coronavirus.â
