India has reported another record in the daily surge in Covid-19 cases on Monday, overtaking Brazil and becoming the second-worst hit country.
Additional 168,912 cases reported in the last 24 hours have pushed India’s total to 13.5 million. Meanwhile, statistics have shown Brazil with a total of 13.4 million Covid-19 cases, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
India is experiencing its worst surge of the pandemic, with a seven-day rolling average of more than 130,000 cases per day. Hospitals across the country are becoming overwhelmed with patients, and experts worry the worst is yet to come. The latest surge also coincides with the shortage of vaccines in some Indian states, including western Maharashtra state, which is the worst-hit state and has recorded nearly half of the country’s new infections in the past two weeks.
