As the coronavirus cases in India continue to spread rapidly, India is now just behind the United States, Brazil, and Russia in terms of the total confirmed cases. It is, therefore, the biggest epicenter of the coronavirus disease pandemic in Asia and the fourth worst-affected nation in the world.
With over 18,000 new cases reported in the last 24 hours, India's COVID-19 count on Wednesday crossed the 5.85 lakh-mark, while the death toll has crossed the 16,800-mark as well.
