India’s daily COVID-19 cases pass 400,000 as second wave worsens
India registered a record-breaking 400,000+ new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, as the nation struggles with a devastating second wave. The rollout of the mass vaccination drive was hindered in some areas due to a lack of doses. The death toll has now risen to 211,853, with 3,523 fatalities reported in the last 24 hours. Hospitals, morgues and crematoriums are struggling to cope with the influx of patients, and families are desperately searching for medicines and oxygen. Despite India being the world's largest producer of COVID-19 vaccines, some states are facing shortages, which is delaying the vaccination of all adults.0
