India crossed a grim milestone with the COVID-19 fatalities surging past the two lakh-mark on Wednesday. The country has been reporting at least 3 lakh daily cases for the past one week. The explosion in cases has led to shortage of oxygen, medical supplies, overwhelming healthcare facilities and crematoriums.
Devastating scenes have been surfacing where people are dying on the streets and desperate families crowding outside hospitals and pharmacies in search of treatment and medicines.
India saw a record single-day rise of 3,60,960 coronavirus cases, which pushed the total cases to 1,79,97,267, while the death figures crossed two lakh following 3,293 fresh fatalities, according to Union health ministry data updated on Wednesday.
