A total of 266,000 have been identified in India. 598 cases of new coronaviruses.

In the state of Maharashtra, whose capital is Mumbai, there are 90,000 patients.

The number of cases is also increasing sharply in the capital Delhi, where authorities predict that more than half a million cases will be recorded in late July.

The coronavirus outbreak coincides with a decision by the country’s authorities to begin easing quarantine restrictions three months later, which were supposed to prevent the spread of the disease.

On June 8, operations were allowed to resume in supermarkets, houses of worship and offices. It has already been allowed to open smaller stores, markets, and provide transportation services. According to experts, there is no other option, only to alleviate and eventually lift the quarantine, which will have extremely painful consequences for the country’s economy. Millions have been left without income and jobs, companies have been forced to close, and unskilled workers who have flocked from the province to the cities are at risk of starvation. Also, after stopping public transportation services, most of them had to return home on foot. Many died of exhaustion and hunger.

For many weeks, a relatively small number of cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in India as surprised by experts as necessary. Despite an extremely densely populated population, there has been no influx of cases or deaths of patients lacking disease and funding. Although poor evidence may explain the number of cases, the number of deaths is not. The hope, fueled by the government’s decision to end the quarantine, was that the unidentified cases would not be so severe as to require hospital treatment.

The fact that the number of new diseases is growing, according to experts, shows that the country is experiencing a late peak of diseases.

Most concerned by experts and officials is the fact that, although the period of quarantine in the state and the use of local medical facilities to strengthen, hospitals in major cities are overcrowded. There have been reports that several patients with COVID-19-like symptoms are being sent home.
