The total number of coronavirus infections in India is currently 22.99 million, while the total death toll has risen to 249,992. The seven-day average of new cases reached a new high of 390,995.

The World Health Organization said that the coronavirus variant that was first discovered in the country last year was listed as a variant of global concern, and some preliminary studies have shown that it is more likely to spread.

Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s head of COVID-19 technology, said at a briefing in Geneva on Monday: “Globally, this is a variant that people are paying attention to.” “There are some. The available information indicates an increase in transmittance.”

Oxygen cylinders and other medical equipment have been sent all over the world to support the crisis in India, but many hospitals across the country are struggling with life-saving equipment.

A government official said that 11 people died in a government hospital in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, Southern State, late Monday due to delays in the delivery of oxygen fuel trucks.

The region’s top bureaucrat, M Harinarayan, said on Monday night: “There was a problem with oxygen pressure due to insufficient supply. This all happened within five minutes.” He pointed out that SVR Ruia Hospital now has enough oxygen.

Watches | In India, COVID-19 has been hit hard and people are seeking help-but key medical supplies are hard to find:

As hospitals reported an increase in this rare but potentially fatal infection, the Indian government told doctors to pay attention to the signs of mucormycosis or “black fungus” in COVID-19 patients, which puts pressure on medical facilities.

The disease may cause blackening or discoloration of the nose, blurred or double vision, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and coughing, and is closely related to diabetes. In turn, steroids used to treat severe COVID-19 (such as dexamethasone) can exacerbate diabetes.
