In India, 357,229 people were confirmed infected with the new coronavir last day and the total number reached 20.3 million, according to the Ministry of Health.
During the day, the number of Covid-19 victims in India has increased by 3,449 and a total of 222,408 people have died from Covid-19 in India, according to government data.
However, according to many experts, given the lack of testing and the incomplete record of deaths, the true figures could be much higher.
Indian hospitals lack beds and oxygen cylinders, they are overcrowded and can no longer accommodate all patients.
In India, all people over the age of 18 can apply for the Covid-19 vaccine from Saturday, but due to a lack of vaccines, only some states can provide vaccination.
While the federal government is delaying the introduction of a universal quarantine regime, more than a dozen Indian states and territories have imposed some restrictions in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus.
The federal government is concerned that another quarantine regime will have a devastating effect on the economy.
The government has been criticized for allowing religious festivals and political rallies in March and April with millions of people attending the five states that have since experienced virus outbreaks. People did not wear masks and social distancing at these events.
