Lockdown, Day 62: Crisis continues unabated
The
return of domestic flights after two months has been turbulent, to say
the least, with over 80 flights to and from Delhi alone being cancelled.
India's coronavirus tally also seems to have taken off, with
almost seven thousand cases being reported in just the last 24 hours,
now making it the tenth worst hit country in the world.
India's
lockdown extensions - there have been three as of now - could spur
another medical crisis and are nothing but economic disasters, Anand
Mahindra said today.
Here are the other update from the day...
