Senior European Union officials announced Sunday that the bloc will send “rapid” assistance to help India combat its latest, devastating coronavirus outbreak. On Friday, India set a world record for the number of new coronavirus cases reported in a single day, with more than 330,000 new infections. The Indian Health Ministry said Friday that there have been 189,544 coronavirus deaths in the country, but health experts around the world believe the true death count is much higher. In a tweet on Sunday, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she was “alarmed” by the worsening pandemic in India and announced that EU member states would be ”pooling resources to respond rapidly to India’s request for assistance.” Janez Lenarcic, the European commissioner for crisis management, said on Twitter that those resources would include oxygen and medicine.More Related News
