Maharashtra and Kerala are the two states witnessing the highest surge in the country. While Maharashtra recorded 4,024 new cases, Kerala saw 3,488 new infections. The two states also have the highest overall cases. Delhi too has been witnessing a worrying surge. The national capital’s Covid-19 tally rose by more than 1,000 fresh infections for a second straight day on Wednesday, with as many as 1,375 people testing positive in 24 hours.
India’s fresh Covid surge has sparked concerns of a fourth wave but experts have highlighted low hospitalisations and death figures. A large population of the country is already vaccinated fully but states have been told to remain alert.
