  • BESTPIX- India’s Covid-19 Crisis Intensifes<br>NEW DELHI, INDIA - MAY 03: A relative of a patient who contracted the coronavirus rests by his bedside inside the emergency ward of a Covid-19 hospital on May 03, 2021 in New Delhi, India. India recorded more than 360,000 coronavirus cases in a day for the 12th day in a row as the total number of those infected according to Health Ministry data neared 20 million. The real figure could be up to ten times higher, many health experts say, due to a lack of widespread testing or reporting, and only patients who succumbed in hospitals being counted. A new wave of the pandemic has totally overwhelmed the country’s healthcare services and has caused crematoriums to operate day and night as the number of victims continues to spiral out of control.
