Lockdown, Day 81: Another grim milestone
Ten
days after recording two lakh infections, India has surpassed the three
lakh-mark with the worst daily spike of 11,458 infections. India took
64 days to cross the 1 lakh-mark from 100 cases.
Some experts,
meanwhile, have come down hard on the ICMR for its assertion that there
was no community transmission of COVID-19, saying it was not reflective
of the current situation.
