India reported 6,148 new deaths from coronavirus on Thursday. It represents the highest single-day death toll from the virus in the world.
The increase in numbers surpassed the 5,444 virus-linked deaths recorded in the United States on February 12.
With a caseload of more than 29.2 million infections and nearly 360,000 fatalities, India still remains the world’s second-worst affected country after the United States.
However, experts maintain that the figures are massively undercounted. There have been allegations that India under-reported deaths in April and May when it was hit by a severe second wave of infections.
