Coronavirus LIVE Updates: After a promising start to 2021, India is slipping back into disturbing territory of local lockdowns and Covid-related hospitalizations. Maharashtra and Karnataka are the states hardest hit in what health experts call the second wave of the coronavirus in India. Many doctors have said that such a recurring pattern of increased infections is common for the coronavirus. What’s shocking is how little regard people are paying to face masks and social distancing. The drop in cases and the opening of economic activities has led to a greater mobilization of people.
But this has led to higher levels of community transmission. So far, the government has said that foreign variants of the coronavirus have no role in the current increase. A report from FE had previously highlighted how the guard was lowered and testing levels were lowered, leading to a further increase in Covid-19 infections. On Sunday, India recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases in the past 80 days. As states strive to form an action plan to combat the coronavirus, here are the latest, latest and most verified updates on coronavirus cases in India and around the world.
In Maharashtra, the most affected state in the country, the number of Covid-19 cases has increased rapidly. Some districts have also imposed severe lockdowns and restrictions to control the increase. “Corona cases are increasing, if the situation deteriorates, the closure will be announced in the districts that will report more cases,” Health Minister Rajesh Tope said on Monday. About 20 lakhs of people in Mumbai have been fined for not following COVID regulations, it reported.
