(Corona explosion, more than 1 lakh cases found in a day for the first time) India becomes second country after US
New Delhi: Corona situation in the country has become critical. The Corona infection figures revealed on Sunday broke the all-time record. According to the latest reports, for the first time in the country, corona infection cases have crossed 100,000. On Sunday, 1.01 lakh cases of corona were found across the country. Earlier, on September 16, when the Corona epidemic was at its peak, there were 97,894 cases a day across the country. With this, India has become the second country in the world after the US in one day infection case.
Maharashtra has the highest number of cases.
Maharashtra has the highest number of new cases of corona infection. On Sunday, only 57,000 positive cases were received from this state itself. The Uddhav government has announced a night curfew till April 30 in view of the critical situation of Corona in Maharashtra, while there will be a complete lockdown on the weekend. After the month of September, cases of corona infection had started coming down in the country, but once again new cases have increased rapidly.
Healthh experts are calling this the 'second wave' of corona.
Several reasons are being cited for the rapid spread of infection. The biggest reason for this is believed to be negligence. People have become careless after the Corona vaccine entered the country. Kovid-19 protocols such as wearing masks and two yards are not being followed. In addition, new variants of the corona are also believed to be responsible for the increase in infection. The type of corona found in the UK, Brazil, South Africa and the Americas has been found in the country. Recently 'double mutants' of corona have been found in many states. Health experts say that new cases of infection are also increasing due to these new types of corona.
