NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India reported a record daily jump in coronavirus cases for a second consecutive day, logging 97,570 new infections on Saturday, data from the federal health ministry showed.
With total cases of more than 4.65 million, India is the world’s second-worst affected country, trailing only the United States, which has more than 6.4 million cases.
But the growth in infections in India is faster than anywhere else in the world, as cases surge through urban and rural areas.
If the state, which is India’s richest, were a country, it would rival Russia for the fourth-highest number of coronavirus cases globally.
Government officials and experts said the unabated rise in cases in Maharashtra and other parts of the country were likely a result of economic activity re-starting, local festivals and lockdown fatigue.
“It is getting worse and worse each week but a large part of the nation seems to have made the choice to ignore this crisis,” she said.
