Superati gli 820mila casi ufficiali, ma in realtà potrebbero essere molti di più. Le vittime sono più di 21mila. Nell'ultimo giorno il numero di nuove infezioni ha raggiunto un nuovo record - il terzo giornaliero consecutivo- superando le 27mila in un solo giorno

NEW DELHI, INDIA - JULY 09: Indian commuters wearing face masks wait for public transport on July 09, 2020 in New Delhi, India. With nearly 800,000 confirmed cases and over 21,000 deaths, India has now overtaken Russia to become the third worst Covid 19-affected country amid fears that the numbers could shoot up further and turn the nation of over 1.3 billion people into a global hotspot. The Indian government, however, dismissed the concerns by citing the percentage of patients who had recovered. We are a country with the second highest population in the world. Our cases per million are 538, while world average is 1,453, Union health minister Harsh Vardhan told media persons during a press conference on Thursday. (Photo by Yawar Nazir/Getty Images)
