India is struggling to cope with a surge in coronavirus infections, logging a record 200,000 new cases on Thursday.
With many hospitals reporting severe shortages of beds and oxygen supplies, India this week overtook Brazil as the country with the second-highest number of COVID-19 cases-behind only the United States. More than 14 million Indians have been infected, health ministry data shows.
