Covid-19 pandemic: India cases up three times in two months

Covid-19 cases in India have gone from one million to nearly four million in less than two months.

While deaths per million are 49 in India against a global average of 111, some states have seen an increase in fatalities in the last two weeks. Experts are worried about states such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, especially the rural areas where the virus could cause havoc due to the lack of adequate healthcare infrastructure.
