Country grappling with oxygen shortages and lack of beds while crematoriums are overloaded
India has passed a grim milestone of 20 million Covid-19 cases amid growing calls for the country to go into a national lockdown.
On Tuesday, India reported 357,229 new cases over the last 24 hours, while the number of deaths rose by 3,449 as a deadly wave of the virus showed no signs of relenting. Many health experts believe India’s true death toll to be five to 10 times higher than official data.
