Five states account for two-thirds of India's total Covid-19 cases

At least five states — Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh — find themselves at the centre of the Covid-19 crisis for stretched health infrastructure as positive cases rise at a fast clip.
 

These five states make up about two-thirds of the total cases in the country. Having crossed the 300,000 mark, India’s now fourth in the global tally of cases. Just 10 days ago, the number was 200,000.  The country’s Covid death toll, at ninth in the world, is close to 9,000.
