India reported 2,293 new cases of coronavirus today — its biggest single-day increase since the outbreak began, according to the country’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
That takes the national total to 37,366 cases and 1,218 related deaths, according to the ministry.
All 1.3 billion people in India remain under lockdown. State borders are closed, transportation is suspended, businesses are closed, and people are ordered to stay home.
The lockdown, which left thousands of people stranded away from their home states, was supposed to lift tomorrow. However it has since been extended for another two weeks, although restrictions will be loosened in some low-risk areas.
