A health worker takes a sample to test for COVID-19 test at a market place in New Delhi, India, Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020. India's confirmed coronavirus caseload is expected to surpass 9 million on Friday as authorities in New Delhi battle to slow down the surge of infections in the city by increasing testing. The country's overall tally of confirmed cases is currently the second largest in the world behind the United States.
NEW DELHI — India’s total number of coronavirus cases since the pandemic began has crossed 9 million. Nevertheless the country’s new daily cases have seen a steady decline for weeks now and the total number of cases represents 0.6% of India’s 1.3 billion population. The Health Ministry reported 45,882 new infections and 584 fatalities in the past 24 hours on Friday. The death toll since the pandemic began is more than 132,000.
Authorities in capital New Delhi are fighting to head off nearly 7,500 new cases a day while ensuring that the flagging economy doesn’t capsize again. The government hiked the fine for not wearing a mask four times to 2,000 rupees as it considered fresh restrictions.“The next four weeks are crucial. The road is very bumpy,” said Dr. S.K. Sarin, director of New Delhi’s Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences.

WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU
Wow AP 9 millon! It is terrible... it makes almost 0.6 % of Indian Population! AP should go back to school as 0.6% makes probability very very low!! AP designer of Fears! Poor world!!
are deceiving in this context. That's less than 1% of the pop. matter when you speak of ventilators/hospitalized. But as cases? % of pop keeps it in context, and comparable
Very sad Hoping the best for them
after how frequently and deliberately the AP has lied about the US Elections how can we trust anything else you cover?
😔😔
Fake! Indian infections are 12 Million+ & Deaths are 600K+. China , India etc are lying about numbers! AP do not publish articles that are not factual!
Coronavirus piggybacking.
99 countries have more total COVID-19 cases per capita than India. India having 1.4 billion people isn't newsworthy. Of course India has a lot of cases. It has a lot of people. This is NOT news.
