Covid-19 in India: 4.12 lakh new cases and 3980 deaths
The second wave of coronavirus is definitely deadly in India. In the last 24 hours, nearly 3980 people died. This is the highest in a day and this pushed total fatalities to 2,30,168. Also, nearly 4.12 lakh new cases have been registered in the past 24 hours.
According to the government, twelve states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, and Uttar Pradesh, have more than a lakh active COVID-19 cases each.
India accounted for 46% of global cases and 25% of global deaths reported in the past week, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
“Unless the world steps up and helps India now, there will be reverberations across the region and the world in terms of virus-related deaths, virus mutations and supply delays,” UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said on Tuesday.
On the other hand, experts have warned India must prepare for a third wave.
