New Delhi, (thestates.news) India on Friday registered sharpest spike with 9,851 novel coronavirus
infections, taking the caseload to 2,26,700 even as the country is gearing for
reopening of malls, religious places and restaurants from June 8 to jump-start
the economy battered by the pandemic outbreak.
However, strict guidelines will accompany the trimmed restrictions.
As per Union Health Ministry, 273 deaths were recorded in the past 24 hrs,
raising the fatalities to 6,348.
In a positive development, nearly 48 per cent of the total coronavirus cases —
1.09 lakh patients have recovered from the contagion. Active cases in the
country now stand at 1,10,960.
For migrants
The Supreme Court ordered the central and state governments to transport
all migrants stranded across the country to their native places within the next
15 days.
In another judgement, Apex Court sought a detailed response from the Central
government on a PIL for capping cost of treatment of COVID-19 patients
in private hospitals as they were charging exorbitant fees from them, making it
inaccessible to many infected with the virus. (uni) (mediasaheb.com)
