Coronavirus: 2 lakh daily infections in India, thousands of deaths

International Desk: For the first time in India, more than two lakh people have been infected with a corona in one day, more than one thousand have died. The country's health ministry said on Thursday (April 15th). India is shaking with the second wave of coronavirus. The number of people infected and dying from the virus is increasing in the country.

Thursday's figures are the highest since the onset of the Corona epidemic. In the last 24 hours, 2,739 people have been infected with the new corona in India, according to data released by the Union Ministry of Health.

The total number of infected people in this South Asian country has exceeded 14 million. India ranks second in the world in the number of infected patients. The country ranks next to the United States in the list. Corona ranks second on the list of victims, but the country ranks fourth on the list of the dead. 1,036 people have died in India in the last 24 hours.

A total of one lakh 63 thousand 123 people died in the country due to the corona. The coronavirus has taken a terrible form in India. In the first wave of the virus, the number of infected people in the country did not reach one lakh houses in one day.

But the statistics of the last few weeks show that the second wave has come on a bigger scale. Thousands died daily after the second wave. Meanwhile, on the one hand, the number of infected people is increasing, on the other hand, the percentage of recovery is decreasing. Infections in the country have been declining since November last year, but have been on the rise since mid-March this year.

Over the past week, more than one lakh people have been infected with corona daily in the country. Experts say the main reason for the recent surge in corona infections in India is the general public's indifference to compliance with corona restrictions.
