India is second in the world in total reported cases behind the United States, but daily infections have been on the decline since the middle of September. There has been, however, a resurgence of infections in New Delhi, which has seen a renewed surge in recent weeks, recording more new cases than any other Indian state.
New Delhi registered 7,340 new coronavirus cases, including 96 deaths in the past 24 hours.
