NEW DELHI – India has recorded 78761 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, the worst one-day peak in the world, as the government continues to ease national pandemic restrictions.
On Sunday, the Ministry of Health reported 948 deaths in more than 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths to 63,498.
India has already reported more than 75,000 infections over 4 consecutive days.
Sunday’s outbreak raised the total number of viruses in the country to more than 3.5 million and comes at a time when India is reopening its subway networks and allowing sports and occasions on a limited basis from next month as a component of efforts to revive the economy.
The crowded subway, a lifeline for millions of people in New Delhi, the capital, will reopen from September 7. Schools and schools will be closed until the end of September.
India has the third number of cases after the United States and Brazil, and their deaths are the fourth largest.
Although 8 Indian states remain among the hardest-hit regions and contribute nearly 73% of infections in general, the virus is now spreading in the vast interior, and experts warn that September may be the most complicated month.
In progress in the Asia-Pacific region:
– South Korea reported 2 ninenin new cases of coronavirus as government-limited foods in closed restaurants and gyms and after-school academies in the great capital region to curb the spread of the virus. The seventeenth consecutive day of three-figure increases raised the number of national bodies to nine, six and nine, adding up to 323 deaths. Most of the new instances came here from the capital Seoul, the neighboring province of Gyeonggi and Incheon, a domain that had been at the center of a viral resurgence this month. Churches have a primary source of infection, many of them do not apply masks well and allow the faithful to sing and eat together. Clusters have also made the impression on restaurants, schools, retirement homes and apartment buildings. For 8 days from Sunday, restaurants in the Seoul domain can only provide deliveries and takeaways after nine o’clock at night. Franchised coffee stores like Starbucks will only sell drinks and takeaways.
– The Australian state of Victoria recorded 114 new cases and 11 more deaths. Deaths raise the death toll from the virus in Victoria to five24 and Australia’s total to 611. It follows 94 new cases on Saturday, which was the first day since July 5 as cases narrowed to double digits. The citizens of Melbourne will be subject to two more weeks of movement restrictions, adding a curfew at night. Restrictions on Australia’s largest city at the time will expire on September 13, but will be gradually reduced and will be removed altogether. Health officials said the recommendations for the face mask may remain in effect for several months.
– The Australian government has announced that it will provide a value of A$2 million ($1.48 million) in non-public protective devices to the Indonesian army to assist them in the country’s fight against COVID-19. The Royal Australian Air Force will supply surgical gloves, gowns, masks and thermometers as a component of existing defense cooperation between neighbors. Current figures from Indonesia’s Ministry of Health show 169,000 cases of COVID-19 and nearly 7,300 deaths.
– Hong Kong reported 18 new cases of coronavirus and 3 more deaths due to COVID-19. Figures from China’s National Health Commission bring the entire semi-autonomous southern city to 4,786 cases and 87 deaths. Mainland China reported nine new cases on Sunday, all outdoors in the country. This brought China’s total to 85,031 since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan late last year, with 4,634 deaths.
