Coronavirus cases in India have reached 100,000, matching the number of intensive care unit beds in the country, while the rate of growth of new infections showed little sign of slowing.
According to Reuters, India reported 4,970 new cases over the past 24 hours, taking the total from the outbreak to 101,139. Deaths rose by 134 to 3,163.
The number of Indian cases has easily outstripped China, where the virus originated late last year and which has been one of the infection hotspots in Asia.
