A look at July’s coronavirus cases in India data depicts that Covid-19 cases are growing the fastest in India among the worst-affected countries as the nation is inching towards registering the highest number of daily new cases.
Since last week, India has been consistently adding over 40,000 new cases every day, and on Monday, July 27, it was just 5,000 cases away from reporting the highest daily rise in cases in the world. India reported nearly 50,000 new cases, just behind the US, which added a little less than 55,000 cases on the day.
India has one of the world’s highest growth rates in cases; just 18 countries out of nearly 200 are growing faster. In the worst-affected US, cases are doubling in 40 days, while in Brazil, they are taking 36 days. In India, cases are doubling in 19 days.
