Top News Of The Day: As Official Daily Covid Numbers Fall, What's Testing Situation?
With 45,000 new coronavirus cases a day, India's COVID-19 tally crossed 9 million and 584 died in the last 24 hours. However, official daily numbers appear to show a marked slowdown in the spread of coronavirus. Is spotty testing to blame? As COVID cases rise, Ahmedabad has imposed a weekend night curfew. The 57-hour "complete curfew" from tonight till Monday morning in Ahmedabad led to markets crowding as people rushed to stock up essentials. COVID-19 deaths in Delhi crossed the 8,000-mark with 98 fatalities reported in the last 24 hours. The national capital continues to report over 7,000 cases daily. The Delhi government has imposed a hefty Rs 2,000 fine for not wearing a mask in public places.
