Grim surge in world’s second-most populous nation sends more and more sick people in search of oxygen and hospital beds.
India has reported a global record of more than 314,000 new infections on Thursday as a brutal second wave of coronavirus cases sends more and more sick people into a fragile healthcare system critically short of hospital beds and medical oxygen. The infections added in the past 24 hours, mostly attributed to a so-called double mutant variant, raise India’s total past 15.9 million cases since the pandemic began. Fatalities also rose by a record 2,104 in the past 24 hours, raising India’s overall death toll to 184,657, the health ministry said.More Related News
