Nearly 350,000 new cases and 2,600 new deaths were reported on Saturday. Author: Gordon Severson Updated: 10:13 PM CDT April 24, 2021 MINNESOTA, USA — Few American doctors understand the COVID situation in India better than Dr. Frank Rhame. He's an infectious disease specialist at Allina Health and he has been to India five times during his medical career. "If you haven't been there you have no clue what density of humanity can be,” Dr. Rhame explains. He says that population density is a big reason why India is seeing a record number of new COVID cases. The previous record for new cases in a single day was set by the U.S. back in January with just under 300,000 new cases
