SINGAPORE - Global coronavirus infections continued to trend sharply upwards, led by the world s worst outbreak in India, which has posted alarming new records in fresh cases almost every day over the past week.
The total number of Covid-19 cases around the world stands at more than 152 million, and deaths at nearly 3.2 million, as countries grapple with resurgent waves of more infectious virus variants amid slower-than-ideal vaccination roll-outs.
People, tiring of the prolonged restrictions and confused by the constantly changing rules, are now more than ever flouting the restrictions meant to keep them safe.
India s daily Covid-19 cases dipped slightly on Sunday (May 2) to 392,488, a day after it became the first country to cross the 400,000 mark in new infections. But daily deaths jumped to a record 3,689, as its overwhelmed healthcare system struggled on with severe shortages of beds, oxygen and other medical supplies.
