The second wave of Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc in India with the country reporting three to four lakh new cases every week. Restrictions like lockdown are implemented in almost all the states of the country to reduce Covid-19 cases, yet the cases are not decreasing. This is the fifth time in a week when India has crossed the 4 lakh mark of new cases in 24 hours. India recorded 4,03,738 fresh COVID-19 cases, and 4,092 deaths in the last 24 hours, as per the latest update by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Sunday. In a related development, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has urged the Centre to impose a nationwide lockdown to break the Covid-19 transmission.
