Live news updates: Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will not resign, a minister said on Wednesday, despite protests against his handling of the country's worst economic crisis in decades and as doctors held street protests over a shortage of medicine.
Rajapaksa, governing the country since 2019 with other family members in top positions, revoked a state of emergency late on Tuesday after five days as dozens of lawmakers walked out of the ruling coalition, leaving his government in a minority.
People have been suffering from shortages of fuel, power, food, drugs and other items for weeks, and doctors say the entire health system could collapse in weeks. Street protests began a month ago and have intensified in recent days, with people openly defying the emergency and a weekend curfew, said Reuters.
With 1,086 new coronavirus infections reported in a single day, India's total tally of COVID-19 cases rose to 43,030,925 while the active cases dipped to 11,871, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on Wednesday. The death toll climbed to 521,487 with 71 fresh fatalities, the data updated at 8 am stated.CATCH ALL THE LIVE UPDATES
