India cautiously starts to open up as coronavirus cases decline
Fox News
Businesses in two of India's largest cities were reopening Monday as part of a phased easing of lockdown measures in several states now that the number of new coronavirus infections in the country is on a steady decline.
"Now the corona situation is under control. The economy must be brought back on track," New Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, told reporters on Sunday. The strict lockdown measures had been in place since April at the start of a devastating surge in infections that lasted well into May and overwhelmed health care facilities in many parts of the country. Some health experts fear the restrictions are being eased too soon and there are concerns that the virus is still spreading unchecked through India’s villages where testing and medical care are limited.More Related News
