India today reported a spike of 9,985 more COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, taking the country's COVID-19 count to 2,76,583, according to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. 279 deaths were reported in the last 24 hours taking the total death count to 7,745.
Mumbai, the country's financial, art and entertainment capital, crossed 51,000 coronavirus cases - around 700 more than China's Wuhan, where the global pandemic first surfaced in December. The total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Wuhan is 50,333, including 3,869 fatalities. Maharashtra, the country's biggest coronavirus hotspot, meanwhile, stands at 90,000 cases, way ahead of the 84,000-plus cases in China.
Meanwhile, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the national capital's coronavirus cases may climb to more than 5 lakh by the end of July and it does not have the hospital capacity to handle such an outbreak. The Aam Aadmi Party government said it has decided to increase beds in 22 private hospitals by more than double.
