India coronavirus deaths hit record high as hospitals plead for supplies
Fox News
India set a record-high in daily coronavirus deaths Tuesday with data reflecting over 3,700 fatalities as experts warn the true figures are likely as much as 10 times higher.
"There are still lots of people who are not getting tested," Dr. Prabhat Jha, of the University of Toronto, told the Associated Press. "Entire houses are infected. If one person gets tested in the house and reports they’re positive and everyone else in the house starts having systems, it’s obvious they have COVID, so why get tested?" Jha also pointed to deaths occurring in the countryside, which often occur without prior documented medical attention and without any kind of documentation. Up to 70% of the country’s annual deaths occur in rural India each year.More Related News
