India has diagnosed 13.53 million people, surpassing Brazil as the second highest in the world.

The epidemic of Chinese communist virus (coronary disease) in India continues to deteriorate rapidly, with nearly 170,000 new cases confirmed in the past 24 hours, the largest single-day increase in India for five days in a row, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reaching 13.53 million, surpassing Brazil and becoming the second most diagnosed country in the world after the United States.

According to Reuters, India’s Ministry of Health today (12) announced the latest data on the epidemic, with 168,912 new cases confirmed in the past 24 hours, once again setting a new single-day maximum increase.

Since the number of confirmed cases in India exceeded 150,000 for the first time on a single day on the 11th of this month, India has set a new record of confirmed cases on a single day for five consecutive days, with a cumulative total of 13.53 million confirmed cases, surpassing Brazil to become the world’s second largest number of confirmed cases. In addition, 904 people died in India yesterday, and the cumulative number of deaths is 170,179.

According to reports, the number of confirmed cases in India has increased by nearly one million in the past two months. In response to the worsening epidemic, a number of regions, including New Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab, have declared “curfew” measures.

In addition, the Indian government is pushing for virus testing and vaccination. According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, more than 98 million doses of vaccines have been administered. The demand for vaccination has increased so much that there is a shortage of vaccines in many places.

According to the Indian Express, sources in Maharashtra and Punjab, where the outbreak is most severe, say the worsening of the epidemic may be linked to a faster-spreading variant of the virus. Hospitals in New Delhi that specialize in treating patients have also seen 37 cases diagnosed after doctors have administered two doses of the vaccine.
