Coronavirus cases in India topped seven million today as the nation looks to become the worst-hit in the world soon.

There were 74,383

infections over the past day and 918 deaths, according to the health ministry.

Fatalities related to the virus now stand at 108,334, as experts warn that mask

and distancing fatigue is setting in.

India still trails

the United States, which has 7.7 million cases, cases but is projected to

surpass the North American nation’s tally within a few weeks. Additionally,

some experts doubt India’s virus and death tallies with poor reporting and

inadequate testing said to be insufficient.

Government

health expert, Dr Randeep Guleria, said “We have been able to keep the

curve rise slow, but I do agree that we have not been able to get it to move

aggressively down. That’s related to our population density, diversity of our

country and socioeconomic challenges in our country.”
