India has recorded its highest one-day increase of 12,281 coronavirus cases, raising the total caseload to 366,946, but the government ruled out reimposing a countrywide lockdown.
India’s total deaths reached 12,237, a rise of 334 in the past 24 hours, according to a Health Ministry statement.
AP reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected a new lockdown, saying the country has to think about further unlocking and minimising all possibilities of harm to people. The lockdown that was imposed nationwide on March 25 is now restricted to high-risk areas.
