Mumbai adjusted the number of deaths to 862 to 3,165 due to “discrepancies” in the calculation, and the number of deaths in New Delhi increased to more than 400 and exceeded 1.8 thousand.

It is still unclear how many deaths were recorded in the last day.

The pandemic hit the country’s densely populated large cities hard. In Chennai, the southeastern capital of Tamil Nadu, the quarantine is reintroduced on Friday due to an increase in new cases of coronavirus infection.

In other parts of the country, quarantine restrictions are gradually being reduced to avoid further damage to the country’s economy.

In India, 354,065 cases of coronavirus infection have been reported since the beginning of the epidemic, according to official data. According to this indicator, the country ranks fourth in the world.

Still, experts say the actual number of infected people is much higher, and call for increased testing.

As Indian hospitals found it increasingly difficult to cope with the influx of patients, Germany was the first of the states to recommend that its citizens in India leave the country.

The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a message to the country’s citizens in India recommending that they consider considering returning to Germany for a time or temporarily moving to another country with a good healthcare system.

The report says that in India, which facilitates quarantine, unlike in Europe, the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow rapidly.

“This greatly increases the risk of coronavirus infection,” writes the MFA.

The embassy, ​​meanwhile, said its medical experts believe that people infected with the coronavirus and people with other serious health problems “have almost no chance of being hospitalized.”
