According to the Union Health Ministry, the number of cases in India as of 10 am on June 1 stands at 1,90,535, with 8,392 cases in 24 hours, the highest single-day spike in a day. 

A total of 91,819 patients have recovered. With 230 deaths in 24 hours, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 stands at 5,394, as per government data.

Here are the numbers as of 10 am on June 1:

As testing increases and due to the influx of people from across India and countries, 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.

Cases across the world are currently at 61,66,978 with 3,72,037 deaths (according to the map by Johns Hopkins) as on June 1.
