Washington- As the COVID-19 cases in India keep skyrocketing and spiraling out of control with every passing day, the US government reissued its travel advisory urging its citizen to refrain from traveling to India.
India is presently suffering from an unprecedented surge in the cases of the novel coronavirus, reporting more than three lakh fresh cases on a daily basis for the past few days resulting in the overburdening of the healthcare infrastructure dangerously bringing it on the verge of collapse. There have been widespread acute shortages of hospital beds, supply of medical oxygen and life-saving drugs as well as manpower signaling the inefficient functioning of the healthcare sector in India.
