According to the Union Health Ministry, the number of cases in India as of 9 am on June 12 stands at 2,97,535, with 10,956 cases in 24 hours. India has now crossed the United Kingdom to record the fourth highest number of cases in the world.
A total of 1,47,194 patients have recovered. With 396 deaths in 24 hours, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 stands at 8,498, as per government data.

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.
