India has registered its worst single-day increase in coronavirus cases since late December as the western state of Maharashtra battles a resurgence.
According to AP, India’s health ministry reported 23,285 new cases of Covid-19 in the past 24 hours. It’s the highest daily rise since Dec 24, according to government data.
India has so far reported more than 11.3 million cases of coronavirus infection, the world’s second-highest total after the United States. The cases had been falling steadily since a peak in late September, but experts say increased public gatherings and laxity toward public health guidance is leading to the latest surge.
