Surge in fresh COVID-19 cases, India records 46,951 new infections

Covid-19 cases have been steadily increasing over the past two weeks. In the figures revealed on Monday, 46,951 cases have been received in the last one day. 

Last year, on this day, a public curfew was imposed on the call of PM Narendra Modi and it was like a trailer of a lockdown that went on for months. 

Talking about that period, Corona had knocked in India then and by March 21, 2020, 360 cases were reported. Among them, 41 cases were of foreigners. In the same period, PM Narendra Modi appealed for the Janata curfew, which was fully supported by the public.

Roads were completely deserted throughout the country and people were in their homes so that the corona remained outside. But now the new wave seems to wreak havoc even more than last year, Which once again brings back memories of the days of prohibition in 2020. 

On the occasion of completion of one year of Janata curfew, it is necessary to know where we have reached in the war from Corona.

Before the Janata curfew was imposed last year, there were only 360 cases in the country, which has now reached 1,16,46,081. Apart from this, in Maharashtra alone, the figure is over 2 lakhs and currently 344646 million people across the country are corona infected.
