COVID deaths in India have risen by 4,205 records to exceed 250,000 marks Coronavirus pandemic News

As a result of COVID-19, the record of 24 deaths has risen in India in the last 24 hours, exceeding a total of 250,000 deaths.

The number of deaths caused by coronaviruses rose by 4,205, while the number of coronavirus cases per day was 348,421, compared to 23 million cases in India, according to data from the Ministry of Health on Wednesday.

Many experts believe that the actual number is much higher, and actual deaths and infections can be five to ten times higher.

There may be early signs of a flattening curve in COVID-19 infection in India, but the decline in the number of new infections is likely to be slow, said India’s chief virologist Shahid Jameel.

“It’s still too early to tell if we’ve reached the summit,” the Indian Express newspaper said.

“There are some indications that the cases are fading. But we must not forget that the plain is very high. It seems that we give about 400,000 cases a day.”

According to the Reuters news agency, India, with a population of 1.35 billion, is now one-third of the deaths caused by coronaviruses worldwide.

COVID-19’s second wild wave has added hospitals and medical staff, as well as mortuaries and crematoria. Drugs and medical oxygen are in short supply.

The dead float in the river

Infections have spread from cities to small towns and in rural areas, traversing a poorly equipped health system for a crisis of this scale.

Even in rural areas of India there is a shortage of wood for traditional Indian cremation and many bodies are being cleaned on the banks of the Ganges River which flows through the most populated areas of the northern plains.

There were at least 71 dead float found downstream in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, authorities said they have not yet determined the cause of death.

Images on social media of corpses floating in the river caused outrage and speculation that they had died as a result of COVID-19.

Authorities conducted post mortems on Tuesday, but said they could not confirm the cause of death due to the decomposition of the bodies.

More bodies were found floating in the river on Tuesday, clearing in the neighboring Ghazipur district of the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh. Police and civilians were present, about 50 miles from Monday’s incident.

“Are we trying to figure out where these dead came from? How did they get here? “said Mangla Prasad Singh, a local official.

Surinder, a resident of Ghazipur who uses only one name, said the villagers did not have enough wood to burn the dead on the ground.

“Due to the shortage of wood, the dead are being buried in the water,” he said. “The bodies of about 12-13 people have been buried in the water.”

Tomorrow and in Uttar Pradesh COVID-19 cases are on the rise as India’s infections grow faster than anywhere else in the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that it was a variant of COVID-19 that was first detected in India last year. it has been found in at least 44 countries.

The UN health body has described the strain of the virus as a “variant of concern” based on preliminary research, along with those first detected in Britain, South Africa and Brazil.

Modik cancels G7 UK trip

Meanwhile, India’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not travel to Britain for the summit of Group Seven (G7) next month due to the state of the country’s coronavirus.

“While the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is grateful for his invitation to the Prime Minister to attend the G7 summit as a special guest, given the current COVID situation, it has been decided that the Prime Minister will not attend the G7 summit,” the ministry said in a statement.

Modi has been criticized for allowing horrific rallies at religious festivals and for holding large-scale election rallies over the past two months, despite a proliferation of cases.

US President Joe Biden is expected to join other leaders at a G7 summit chaired by Britain’s Johnson in Cornwall, southwest England, from 11 to 13 June.
