Covid-stricken India to get US aid The United States is readying aid to send to India to help the country’s healthcare workers amid its growing covid crisis. Secretary of state Antony Blinken stated on Twitter that the US was working closely with partners in the Indian government. “We will rapidly deploy additional support to the people of India and India’s health care heroes,” he wrote. On Sunday India recorded 349,691 new cases, the fourth straight day in which it has broken the highest daily infection incidence for a single country since the start of the pandemic. President Joe Biden also took to Twitter: “Just as India sent assistance to the United States as our hospitals were strained early in the pandemic, we are determined to help India in its time of need,” he wrote. Other countries are also joining the international effort, with the UK sending ventilators and oxygen concentrator devices and EU members also preparing to send aid.
