India continues to add new coronavirus cases at record pace just as the nation announced the fourth phase of lifting lockdown restrictions to revive an economy that’s headed toward a rare annual contraction in more than four decades.
India added 78,761 cases in the last 24 hours, another biggest single-day spike anywhere in the world, taking the total tally to more than 35.42 lakh in Asia’s third-largest economy, according to the Health Ministry’s update as of 8 a.m. on Aug. 30. This includes 63,498 deaths and nearly 27.14 lakh patients who have recovered.
The second-most populous nation with 1.3 billion people is only behind the U.S. and Brazil in the number of confirmed infections. The active cases curve, however, seem to be flattening as recoveries rise.
But deaths due to the coronavirus remain elevated.
This comes as India announced its ‘Unlock 4’ phase where metro rail will be allowed to operate in a graded manner effective Sept. 7, in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs. These add to the list of activities allowed in the first and second phases.
Social/ academic/ sports/ entertainment/ cultural/ religious/ political functions and other congregations are permitted from Sept 21. with a ceiling of 100 persons.
