The rise in infections occurs as the rate continues to decline. New Delhi is reopening its metro, even as India sets world records for new cases.

The global has surpassed the 25 million cases shown.
Twenty two days.
It took the United States more than 3 months to succeed in a million coronavirus cases after reporting its first shown infection, but less than a third of that time to mark the latest jump of a million cases.
The United States took a step forward on Sunday, with six million cases reported, according to a New York Times database.
But as the virus continues to relentlessly spread, expanding tensions as states and school systems move toward normalcy, recent highs show that the outbreak could slow.
For example, it took 16 days for US instances to drop from 4 million to 5 million. And new cases have been falling since the end of July.
Still, the number of instances in the United States remains the most sensitive on the global chart, accounting for nearly a quarter of the 25 million instances.
And while death reports in the United States remain well below the peak they reached in the spring, the cumulative figure reaches 200,000. The death toll in August has more than doubled the average for early July.
