According to the Union Health Ministry, the number of cases in India as of 9 am on June 13 stands at 3,08,993, with 11,458 cases in 24 hours. India crossed the United Kingdom on Friday to record the fourth highest number of cases in the world. 

A total of 1,54,330 patients have recovered. With 386 deaths in 24 hours, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 stands at 8,884, as per government data.
