Coronavirus India Live Updates: Delhi, Maharashtra, Kerala report highest single-day spike in cases

Coronavirus (Covid-19) India Lockdown News Live Updates: Earlier today, the global death toll from the coronavirus surged past 3 million people, according to a count by John Hopkins University.



 Coronavirus India Live Updates: Maharashtra recorded its highest-ever single-day spike with 67,123 cases on Saturday. Delhi and Kerala too registered their biggest one-day count with 24,000 and 13,835 infections respectively. With 120 deaths, Uttar Pradesh reported its largest one-day toll.

After 11 states and Union Territories raised the demand for oxygen cylinders, ventilators, vaccine doses, and Remdesivir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a review meeting with government officials to take a stock of the Covid situation and vaccine availability in the country.

The states and UTs including Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal, Delhi, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh, raised the demands during a high-level meeting chaired by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan. “Many of them raised the issue of dovetailing the medical oxygen supply lines and capping of prices of essential drugs like Remdesivir which has been sold in the black market at exorbitant prices. Double mutant strain in Maharashtra was a key point of concern. The Delhi government requested for additional beds in central government hospitals as was done in 2020 to help tide over the emergent health crisis,” the ministry said in a statement after the meeting.


Earlier today, the global death toll from the coronavirus surged past 3 million people, according to a count by John Hopkins University. The world did not record one million deaths until September 28 but had recorded two million by February 21, less than five months later. And the latest million took less than two months. The United States, Brazil, and Mexico lead the world in Covid-19 deaths.

Meanwhile, India on Saturday reported 2,34,692 new Covid-19 cases and 1,341 deaths in the last 24 hours, according to data from the Union Health Ministry.
