Which country has the highest growth rate of new coronavirus cases? – Asia

India is the country with the fastest growth of new coronavirus cases in the world, the Associated Press reported, cited by BTA.

The Ministry of Health announced today about 76,472 infected people registered during the last 24 hours. Thus, the total number of cases in the country with a population of around 1.4 billion people exceeded 3.4 million. India ranks third in the world in this indicator after the United States and Brazil.

In India, for the eighth day in a row, more than 60,000 people have been infected by the coronavirus

One of the reasons for the sharp increase in new cases recently is the increase in testing. Indian authorities are now running more than 900,000 tests a day, compared to just 200,000 two months ago.

1,021 people with coronavirus have died in India in the last 24 hours. The death toll in the country is now 62,550. India ranks fourth in the grim statistics after the United States, Brazil and Mexico.
