India's Covid-19 fatalities are closing on 100,000 with another 1,095 deaths reported in the past 24 hours.

An update by the health ministry has raised India's death toll to 99,773. Its reported deaths are low for a country with nearly 1.4 billion people and more than 6.3 million confirmed cases, but experts say it may not be counting many fatalities.

The ministry also reported 81,484 new cases.

Total cases jumped from one million in mid-July to more than six million in less than 2.5 months.
