Covid Cases In India: The Indian government has increased its preparations in response to a global increase in Covid cases. The Union health ministry has asked the states and union territories to hold mock drills at all health facilities on Tuesday to ensure the readiness of the COVID-19 health facilities to meet the increase in clinical care needs due to any surge in cases.
As the number of active coronavirus cases in India increased to 3,424 on December 25, states improved the nation’s testing infrastructure and issued guidelines for people to follow. To deal with Covid cases and slow the spread of the pandemic, many states have begun to take action or develop new regulations for the public to follow.
