Quoted from AFP, India reported as many as 357,229 new cases of Corona on Tuesday. This number is 10,918 less than yesterday’s cases, namely 368,147 cases.
It is known that India has been reporting more than 300,000 cases of Corona every day in the past week.

However, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is still optimistic that the COVID-19 tsunami in India can be overcome without having to implement a national lockdown.
