Coronavirus India Updates: With 5,609 fresh cases reported in the last 24 hours, the total case count in India reached 1,12,359, including 3,435 fatalities, on Thursday. The country is reporting a daily rise of over 5000 cases everyday since Sunday. Maharashtra continues to be the worst affected state with over 37,000 cases, accounting for about a third of all cases in India, and two out of every five deaths.
One of the reasons for the increase in daily spike of coronavirus cases can be attributed to the increase in testing. The ICMR Wednesday said that there was a 1,000-fold increase in the quantum of tests performed per day in the last two months.
