India’s COVID-19 situation is deteriorating day by day. The country witnessed more than 3 lakh cases on a daily basis consecutively for the second time. Situation there is extremely worse. India is the second worst hit country from COVID-19. United States still tops the list. If the cases continue to rise in India as they are doing now, then India could add about a million cases in just 3 days. This is the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19 when any nation is witnessing such a huge number of daily infections. The death in India is also rising. India is witnessing the second wave of the virus. During the first wave, the country handled the situation pretty well. But this time there is lack of management. Thursday also marked the 17th consecutive day that added more than a lakh new case. Healthcare facilities in India are being highly impacted. This can be clearly seen in the fatality rate. Since the past 10 days, India is witnessing more than 1000 deaths on a daily basis. There is lack of supply of oxygen. Remdesivir is also not available easily in the market. Since the last 3 days, more than 3000 people are losing their lives every day. COVID-19 has made a second comeback in India, and this time it is even more hazardous.
