India reported a record single-day spike in cases earlier Thursday, with 16,922 new cases of the virus. This was higher than the previous day’s record of 15,968 new cases. The virus has infected 473,105 people in India and killed at least 14,894, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Maharashtra, New Delhi and Tamil Nadu are the hardest-hit states, the data from India’s Health Ministry shows, accounting for around 60% of all confirmed cases in India. The increase in cases in New Delhi, reportedly due to limited hospital and contact tracing capacity, is of particular concern.
India has the fourth-worst coronavirus epidemic in the world, based on total number of confirmed cases, after the U.S., Brazil and Russia.
