India Reports New Daily Case Record, Announces More Lockdown as COVID Surges

HeadlineApr 14, 2021

India is fast-tracking the approval of foreign-made vaccines as it reported yet another record daily caseload of 184,000 infections Wednesday. Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra are going into a full two-week lockdown.

Uddhav Thackeray: “This disease is spreading at a horrifying pace. I say 'horrifying' because today’s numbers of positive cases in the state are the highest so far. Nearly 60,212 COVID-19-positive cases have been reported in the state today, hence the situation is very grim.”
