India is recorded to be the second-highest country to have cumulative covid-19 cases after the United States in the world. According to the records of the Union ministry of health and family welfare’s data, India witnessed a massive jump of 6148 fresh fatalities in the last 24 hours due to Covid-19. This is the highest number of fatalities recorded in a single day in the country.

With Bihar, later, adding a backlog of 3,951 fatalities to their initial record submitted that reported 20 new deaths, and an overall death toll of 5,478 is considered as one of the reasons for the humongous rise in daily fatalities.
