India's surpass China - South Asian nation now Asia's leading Covid-19 hotspot (update)NEW DELHI: India's total Covid-19 corornavirus cases rose to 85,940 on Saturday (May 16), taking it past China, where the pandemic began in the East Asian country last year, though a strict lockdown enforced since late March has reduced the rate of contagion.
