India crosses 1 million Covid-19 cases!!
India is striding in its number of Covid-19 cases each day by leaps and bounds. It has ruptured the 1 million mark. The south Asian country now occupies the third spot on the charts succeeding 2 countries US with 3.6 million and Brazil with 2 million infections.
The only hope of getting out of this tense situation is the indigenous vaccine that is set to enter the human trials this month.
India being the second most populous nation is going through some really tough times and witnessing surge in cases every single day.
India crosses 1 million Covid-19 cases. The nation’s coronavirus count leaped to 10,03,832 this very day. This was after a record of 34,956 recent infections in past 24 hours, as per the info discharged by the Union Health Ministry. India has seen 25,602 deaths till date because of the novel coronavirus, in keeping with the health ministry.
“10,00,000-mark has been crossed. If COVID19 spreads at this pace, by August 10, more than 20,00,000 will be infected in the country,” the former Congress chief tweeted in Hindi.
Further, he prompted the Modi led government to take some solid measures in order to curb the pathogen, or the situation might turn really bad for the country.
Epidemiologists say the Asian country continues to be probably months aloof from touching its peak of cases, suggesting the country’s already burdened aid system can come beneath further strain.
“In the coming months, we are bound to see more and more cases, and that is the natural progression of any pandemic,” said Giridhar Babu, epidemiologist at the nonprofit Public Health Foundation of India.
There have also been indications from the government implying that the citizens must live with the virus as they focus on India’s relatively low fatality rate as a marker of success, and try to build capacity to catch sick people early and treat them.
