The lack of oxygen has been the cause of a staggering number of deaths across the country. The second wave of the pandemic has hit the healthcare system harder and resources remain scarce to support the healthcare and frontline workers. At present, India is handling over 300,000 daily new cases every day, while there have been over two crore Covid cases in the country since inception.
Over 50 lakh infections were detected in the past two weeks alone, which goes on to show the impact of the second wave on the populace. Meanwhile, the death toll due to the coronavirus increased to 222,408 people with 3,449 new fatalities, according to the data shared by the Union Health Ministry.
