As some
parts in the world are slowly returning to a relative normalcy, India is still
suffering as the 2nd worst hit country by coronavirus. Oxford
Institute is in the process of developing a vaccine for covid-19 in conjunction
with Serum Institute of India. CEO of Serum Institute of India, Adar Poonawalla
posed a direct question to Indian government whether the government will be
willing to spend 80,000 crores for vaccination to reach every Indian citizen.
In the last
24 hours, 88,600 new cases have been reported with 1,124 new deaths. This grim
figure takes India 5,992,532 to the total tally of infections and 94, 534
people have died due to coronavirus in the country. United States America is
still the worst hit country in the world but India boasts the second highest
population in the country and there is a grave concern that India can sink even
deeper into the coronavirus pit if the infection rate fails to plummet in the
near future. In somewhat good news, India tops the global recovery charts.
