India has set a record for the world's highest single-day increase in coronavirus cases. The nation, the world's third-most infected, on Sunday (30/8) reported that there are 78,761 new cases in 24 hours, passing the number posted in the US on 17 July. The rise comes as the government continues to lift restrictions in a bid to boost an economy that lost millions of jobs when the virus hit in March. An upsurge of Covid-19 in many rural areas continues to be a major concern. According to Johns Hopkins University research, on Sunday, global infections passed the 25 million mark, with 843,000 deaths. The US remains the most affected nation, closing in on six million infections//BBC
