India has topped the world’s record for daily coronavirus case tallies, recording more than 300,000 infections over the last 24 hours as the country sees a major spike in its outbreak.
Indian health officials reported 314,835 new cases on Thursday, bringing its total infection count over 15.9 million. Another 2,104 deaths were announced in the same period, with fatalities reaching a cumulative 184,657 since the beginning of India’s epidemic.
The new figure blew past the previous global one-day high of 297,430 infections, which was tallied in the US in January – though India’s population of more than 1.3 billion far surpasses the US’ 330 million.22 Apr, 2021 05:47 (RT)
