Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>India is grappling with the second wave of COVID-19 infections that has caught the world\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the world\u2019s second-most populous country reported more than 259,000 new cases and 1,761 deaths in one day.<\/p>\n

It is the sixth straight day the daily infections surpassed 200,000.<\/p>\n

There are fears the case will remain the same in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Since the start of March, India has reported more than 3.1 million new cases and over 18,000 deaths.<\/p>\n

The surge has been linked to political rallies and religious events where large crowds gather, most of them without masks.<\/p>\n

Shortage of hospital beds and oxygen have been reported amid an allegation that the government was diverting oxygen meant for medical use to industries.<\/p>\n

Some states are under partial lockdowns and social restrictions, including India\u2019s richest, Maharashtra, the worst hit with one million new cases in April.<\/p>\n

Also affected by the rise in infections are the capital Delhi, and the most populous state, Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
