India has been hit by a huge second coronavirus wave, but its government has said the pandemic is showing signs of slowing down in some regions.
What's happening to infection rates?
India's surge in infections began around mid-March and increased rapidly, reaching a peak of more than 400,000 recorded daily cases on Friday, 30 April.
Over subsequent days the numbers fell, with just under 360,000 on Monday, 3 May - leading to speculation that a peak had been reached.
But in the past few days, they have started to rise again, in line with a weekly pattern of fluctuations that shows the numbers usually dipping on a Monday.

India is reeling from a record rise in Covid-19 cases, with the health system struggling to cope.
What's happened to case numbers?
India's daily case numbers began rising at the end of February after falling steadily from mid-September 2020.
They picked up sharply in March, and have reached record highs this month, outpacing the rate of growth seen in the first wave which hit India in 2020.
At the same time, India's political parties have been campaigning for a series of state elections in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

A controversial herbal concoction has been in the news again in India, with renewed claims that it is effective against coronavirus.
The substance, called Coronil, was launched recently at an event attended by some Indian government ministers.
But there is no evidence that it works, and misleading claims have been made about approval for its use.
What do we know about the substance?
It's a combination of herbs used in traditional Indian medicine and sold by Patanjali, a big consumer goods company in India, under the name of Coronil.
