Germany reports record one-day rise in cases; China reports highest cases in two months; US hospitals warned of cyberattacks
India’s confirmed number of coronavirus cases has surpassed 8 million, as concerns grew over the looming Hindu festival season. It is only the second country worldwide to confirm more than 8 million cases, after the US, which has more than 8.8m.
The Indian health ministry reported another 49,881 infections and 517 fatalities on Thursday, raising the total death toll to 120,527.
It took until mid-July for India to record its first million cases. Two months later, 5 million people had tested positive. But the nation has seen a slower spread since 16 September, when daily infections hit a record 97,894, with daily deaths at a high of 1,275.
