Rapidly rising COVID-19 Cases in India!
The number of confirmed Coronavirus cases in India has crossed the 31,000 mark. So far, 1008 people have died due to the fatal virus. Maharashtra remains the worst hit with more than 9000 cases, followed by Gujarat and Delhi in the second and third places, respectively.
The year 2020 seems like humans are facing the wrath of nature. First, the Australian fires, then the COVID-19 pandemic, and now amid this pandemic, Bengaluru is experiencing floods. All the people out there are requested to stay indoors and take all the mandatory precautions. Let’s pray for the best.
