93,000 confirmed cases of corona in India surged a day Most in half a year

On the 4th, India’s new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) confirmed the highest in half a year, with a whopping 93,000 people exploding in one day.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India, the cumulative number of corona 19 confirmed cases in India on that day was 1,2485,000,509, an additional 93,000 from the previous day.

The number of deaths also increased by 513 during the day, and it was counted to 164,623 cumulatively.

The number of confirmed cases in India per day peaked at 97,000 on September 17 last year, and since then it has continued to decline, reaching the level of 8,000 to 9,000 in February of this year.

However, from mid-March, it increased sharply again, and on that day, it rose to the 90,000 mark.

About half of the new infections come from western Maharashtra, one of India’s richest states.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in India is the third largest in the world after the United States (38.38 million) and Brazil (12.95 million), but if the trend is now, it is expected to surpass Brazil again sooner or later.

Earlier, when the number of confirmed cases in India fell to one-tenth of the peak, quarantine experts made various speculations and could not come up with the exact cause.

Regarding the recent’second epidemic’, experts analyze that amid the spread of a mutant virus with strong infectious power, people’s quarantine posture is weakening and the spread is accelerating.

As the Corona 19 crisis lasted for more than a year, most of the Indians have become indifferent to quarantine at all.

Many crowds enjoyed the festival without masks at the recently held’Color Festival’ Holly and the Hindu festival’Kumb Mela’, and large crowds are also gathering at local election campaigns in West Bengal.

The Ministry of Health of India announced on the 24th of last month that a’double mutation’, which appears together with mutant viruses E484Q and L452R, was found in a sample taken in Maharashtra, and the mutant virus is known to be more contagious.
