With India now having over 50 lakh coronavirus cases in total, the country recorded 90,123 new cases on Wednesday taking the total to 5,02,0359. The active cases in the country account for 19.84 percent of the total caseload. 39,42,360 people have recovered so far in the country, according to Union Health Ministry data.

India also reported 1,290 deaths in the last 24 hours, the highest in a day, taking the total deaths so far to 82,066.

The country is loosening restrictions with most facilities being resumed, the prime among them being the resumption of the Metro services which returned to full service as before the Covid-19 outbreak. The decision to open up has also been underpinned by the disastrous quarter GDP growth rate of minus 23.9 percent due to the lockdowns and the forced migration of workers back to their native states.

Malls, restaurants and bars are back in business with social distancing norms. Gyms are the most recent facility to open up. While Europe has opened up schools, schools, colleges and cinema halls remain closed. Though there have been suggestions from the government to stagger school timings or open only senior classes in a bid to reopen schools, the schools are yet to decide which way they would opt for. Several states have asked schools to lower or not charge the full fees for these months.

With greater public interaction in mass transit systems and the autumn equinox falling on Sunday, the numbers are likely to go up, say independent experts.

The number of reported coronavirus cases in India rose 14 percent over the past two days to cross the 56,000 mark, as per the date provided by the  ministry of health and family welfare. So far this week, the number of cases has gone up by 32 percent. This is a faster rate of increase compared to the previous four days, when confirmed cases had risen by 28 percent.

Although India’s coronavirus trajectory has tapered since last month, it continues to be steeper compared to Asian peers such as Japan and Singapore. The rise of infections in India is now faster than in neighboring Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Compared to Western nations where the virus has claimed more lives, the trajectories of most Asian countries, including India, have been flatter. Yet, with new infections declining, the worst may be over for several European countries. In many Asian countries, new infections are still rising.

At the current rate of compounded daily growth, the number of cases would rise to 75,000 in five days. If this trajectory continues beyond that period, it could overwhelm India’s hospital capacity and strain an already overburdened health system.
