Lockdown, Day 28: Faulty kits & D-St's oil slip
By the time most Indians woke up today, US crude
prices turned negative for the first time in history. Sellers were
literally paying buyers for oil. The slip showed up in D-Street later,
shaving off Rs 3.34 lakh crore of investor wealth.
India neared 19,000 cases, with over 600 casualties, even as the ICMR
today asked states to avoid using the new rapid tests which we got from
China, suspecting them to be faulty.
Here is the other top news of the day...
