Tamil Nadu reports 1,982 cases taking India’s total past 3,00,000
Maharashtra, which accounts for nearly one-third of India’s total case count, is expected to cross the grim 1-lakh mark today.
For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak, India recorded over 10,000 new cases in a day taking the tally to over 2.97 lakh. As Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu continue to register new cases, rumors of another lockdown floated around in social media, prompting the Chief Ministers to rubbish them.
In Delhi, LG Anil Baijal and CM Arvind Kejriwal convened meetings on containment strategies and other measures to control the infection.
