New Delhi:
India has registered nearly 75,000 new coronavirus cases and 902 deaths on
Sunday. The new figures although unsettling come after weeks the country had
registered more than 85,000 cases and more than 1,000 deaths on daily basis.
The latest figures are by no means indicate that India has already passed the
peak. Past analysis show that the number of new infections and deaths reduce
for a short period as in 2 days or so and then again report record number
cases. The health experts and doctors across the nation continue their warnings
of taking utmost precautions such as wearing a mask and washing hands frequently
emphasising that these measures will allow the virus spread to slow down.
With a
feeble health care system, the country has been struggling to contain the
coronavirus with several medical necessities coming in short at this time of
need. When the pandemic began in March, countries like Italy, Spain, France,
Iran and the United States had massive new infections but was able to pass the
peak by June. Precautionary measures and strategic lockdown with a graded unlocking
in phases assisted the countries to contain the virus spread. The United States
continue to register a substantial amount of new cases, but there has been some
positive indications as if the peak has passed but the health experts in the US
warn the public that they should brace themselves for a second wave which could
turn out to be as deadly as the first. Last Friday, Donald Trump, the President
of the United States had been airlifted from the White House lawns to a military
hospital in Maryland after he and his wife Melania Trump had been tested positive
for the virus. The American Government came under harsh criticism in its role
of handling the pandemic which cost more than 200,000 lives so far.
