As India attempts to flatten the curve of coronavirus and is currently under a 21-day lockdown period, some states are continuing to see a steady rise in cases. The 21-day lockdown is due to the virus’s incubation period of 14 days, and it is expected to end on April 14. Cases across the country have crossed 6,300.
As testing increases, some states are recording spikes in cases and number of deaths. Experts say that India should still be testing more than it currently is, and the number of cases detected is expected to go up as states ramp up testing.
Countries across the world are seeing a spike in cases, with the US now the new epicentre of the coronavirus. Cases across the world are currently at 1,601,018 (according to the map by Johns Hopkins), with the US showing an increase of 33,536 new cases and 1900 new deaths on April 9, and Spain having 5,002 new cases and 655 deaths.
