hi and welcome to Quick look. I am Siddharth Mathew.
India surpassed the three lakh-mark on Saturday with the worst daily spike of 11,458 Covid-19 infections.
According to the Union Health Ministry, the death toll climbed to 8,884 with 386 new fatalities.
Amid a massive spurt in coronavirus cases in India, experts came down hard on the ICMR for its sero-survey findings to assert that there was no community transmission of Covid-19.
Emphasising that community transmission was on in many parts of the country, experts asked the government to admit it so that people don’t get complacent.
The ICMR sero-survey found that lockdown and containment measures were successful in preventing the rapid spread of the disease, but a large proportion of the population still remains susceptible.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for a meeting with the Chief Ministers of different States and and Administrators of different Union Territories on June 16 and 17.
This will be the sixth meeting after the Covid-19 pandemic started its spread in the country.
How will India’ battle against Covid-19 fare? Until next week, stay home, stay safe.
