The University of Washingtonâs Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation modeling suggests the true Covid-19 death toll in India exceeds 1.1 million, close to three times the reported number.

India has detected only about 3 to 5 percent of all infections due to insufficient testing, said Murray.
