India was in a complex epidemiological situation due to a sharp increase in coronavirus infections. Every day, hundreds of thousands of new COVID-19 cases are registered in the country.
Coronavirus Catastroph in India may be explained by the fact that the authorities of the country ignored the data on the danger of a more dangerous mutation received earlier from scientists and experts. On the high risk of the spreading of infection among the population, the doctors warned Indian officials in early March, but the reactions from the country’s authorities did not follow, writes Reuters.
In addition, in the country, millions of people neglected the means of protection – did not use masks and visited various religious festivals and political events, notes the publication.
