Covid LIVE: Haryana schools to reopen for Classes 4, 5 from Sep 1

Coronavirus updates: India recorded a massive spike of 37,593 new Covid-19 cases and 648 deaths in the past 24 hours, taking its tally to 32,512,366 and the death toll to 435,758. Coronavirus in India may be entering some kind of stage of endemicity where there is low or moderate level of transmission going on, Chief Scientist of the World Health Organisation Dr Soumya Swaminathan said.

The endemic stage is when a population learns to live with a virus. It's very different from the epidemic stage when the virus overwhelms a population.

World coronavirus update: Covid-19 is continuing to spread around the world, with 213,948,124 confirmed cases and 4,463,919 deaths across nearly 200 countries recorded since China reported its first cases in December 2019. The US remains the worst-hit country with 38,966,376 cases, followed by India, Brazil, Russia and France.
