New Delhi: India on Wednesday reported 90,123 more cases of coronavirus, bringing total infections in the country to over 5 million, or 0.35 per cent of India's 1.4 billion inhabitants. A total of 82,066 people in India have died from the virus.
India trails only the United States in total cases of coronavirus, where 6.6 million infections have been confirmed. It is expected that the South Asia country will surpass that number in the coming weeks.
Experts fear the death toll in India will also spike, as the country relaxes lockdown restrictions in all but high-risk areas. Most fatalities have been concentrated in large metropolitan areas, though smaller urban centers like Nagpur and Jalgaon have also reported a concerning number of deaths.
