India coronavirus: Country records highest spike in Covid-19 cases

3 hours ago

India has recorded its sharpest rise in daily cases of Covid-19 yet, according to the health ministry.

A further 3,900 fresh infections were reported in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 46,433.

The uptick in numbers follows an increase in testing, with more than 80,000 carried out on Monday.

The rise also comes as India moves to ease the lockdown, begun on 24 March to help curb the spread of the virus, in some parts of the country.

This has seen the opening of standalone shops, the re-opening of workplaces with reduced staffing, and the return of private vehicles in some areas. Public transport remains banned.

None of the new guidelines on relaxation apply to areas with high levels of infection that have been designated as containment zones.
