Lockdown, Day 40: Up and up and up
India recorded its highest jump yet, with 2,644
fresh cases and 83 casualties reported in the last 24 hours. The spike
took India's case count to just over 40,000.
In what would have been the final day of Lockdown 2.0, states including
Jharkhand and Maharashtra have made it clear they would not provide any
relaxation over the next two weeks, even as the Centre has made
provisions to slowly get the economy back on track.
The silver lining in India's death cloud, however, is the country's low
fatality rate of 3.3%, which is almost as low as South Korea and China.
