India’s CCP virus surge has claimed more than 200,000 lives, a grim milestone in a pandemic-ravaged country whose health system is strained to the breaking point.
The health ministry on April 28 reported a single-day record of 3,293 COVID-19 deaths in the previous 24 hours, bringing India’s total fatalities to 201,187, as the world’s second-most populous country endures its darkest chapter of the outbreak yet. Indian authorities also reported 362,757 new infections, a new global record.
