A total of 2,95,041 new infections were registered in a day, while the death count increased to 1,82,553 with 2,023 daily new fatalities, the data updated at 8 am showed.

Meanwhile, after an acute oxygen shortage in Delhi hospitals was flagged in court and through appeals by politicians, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, some of the city's biggest medical facilities received a late night refill yesterday. Oxygen tankers arrived late on Tuesday at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, which were merely hours away from running out of stock.
