New world case record in India – Over 2,700 dead in 24 hours

India recorded the highest number of cases for the fourth consecutive day coronavirus that have ever been reported in any country in the world within 24 hours, with 349,691 new infections, as announced today by the Ministry of Health.

At the same time, a record number of deaths was recorded in the country, after 2,767 people succumbed to covid-19 in the previous 24 hours.

Overall, since the beginning of the pandemic in India 16.96 million cases of coronavirus and 192,311 deaths from covid-19 have been reported.

US assistance

The United States is deeply concerned about the rapid rise in coronavirus cases in India and plans to send additional aid to the country, a White House spokesman said on Saturday.

“We are in intensive talks at a high level and we plan to send immediate additional assistance to the Government of India and the Indian health workers who are fighting against this fierce outbreak (of the covid-19 epidemic). We will inform you further soon “, the representative pointed out in an email he sent to Reuters.

India is facing a second, severe wave of the coronavirus epidemic, which has pushed the country’s hospitals to the brink and led to oxygen shortages. The Indian government has resorted to military aircraft and trains to transport oxygen to New Delhi from other parts of the country, but also from abroad, such as Singapore.

Yesterday, another daily, world record of new cases was recorded, 346,786, as announced by the Ministry of Health of India, bringing the total number of infections in the country so far to 16.6 million. Deaths from covid-19 amount to 189,544.

But experts warn that the actual number of cases is likely to be much higher and expect it to rise further.

Officials from India and the United States are holding a dialogue at various levels to ensure “a small supply of ingredients from US companies for the production of covid-19 vaccines in India,” a spokesman for the Indian embassy in Washington explained.

“We believe it is important to work together to identify problems in the supply chain of medical products and find possible solutions to address them, but also to tackle the pandemic together and speed up vaccination efforts,” he added.
