As a global record for new Covid cases is set in India, hospitals are running out of vital supplies
Hospitals in parts of India are using social media to beg for help finding oxygen and key equipment as the country’s second Covid-19 wave continues to build, breaking global records for the most infections detected in a single day.

Most of the remaining restrictions on social life were removed and people again flocked to markets, cricket stadiums and religious festivals.
