Coronavirus Live Updates (COVID-19): India has identified 170 districts as critical points, and another 207 as potential critical points as cases close to 12,000 points. Hot spots with major outbreaks include Kurnool and Guntur in Andhra Pradesh, Chandigarh, Pathanamthitta and Ernakulam in Kerala, Jammu (J&K), Aurangabad (Maharashtra), Jalandhar (Punjab), Chengalpattu (Tamil Nadu) and nine of the 11 administrative districts of Delhi.
These, according to a letter from Health Secretary Preeti Sudan to the states, are the districts with the highest case load, accounting for 80 percent of cases in the state, and districts with a doubling rate of less than four days.
In addition to Delhi, the other cities where hotspots have been included include Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Districts with no new cases in the last 28 days are being classified as “green zone.” With 1,118 new cases reported in the last 24 hours, the total number of cases detected so far has increased to 11,933 (1,344 recovered). The death toll is now 392, with 39 deaths reported in the past 24 hours.
Until the first week of April, the daily increase in cases was around 400-500. But the second week saw a daily peak of about 800. The highest peak in a single day so far was Tuesday, when 1,463 new cases were reported.
In less than a week, between April 8 and 14, the total number of cases doubled from 5,114 to 10,815. Since April 3, approximately two in 50 tests have been positive.
The total number of coronavirus cases in India has approached 12,000
A comparison with South Korea shows that in the first 40 days of COVID-19 cases in India, spread was slower than in South Korea. However, since April 12 (42nd day), the spread in India has been faster than in South Korea. In South Korea, at 40 days, the curve had started to flatten out.
It has been exactly one month since India reached 100 cases. India still has significantly slower case growth compared to the United States.
Meanwhile, more than 17,000 people have died in France from COVID-19, but the total number currently hospitalized has fallen for the first time since the epidemic began.
The United States, on the other hand, faced criticism for suspending funding for the World Health Organization, claiming that it sided with China on the issue of the coronavirus and deceived the world. United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to a senior Chinese diplomat to underscore the Trump administration’s demand for full transparency and the exchange of information from China about the origins and spread of the new coronavirus.
