Global COVID-19 Roundup: Trouble ahead for India's COVID-19 fight

With more than 320,000 infections, India now is the fourth-worst affected country in the world. What makes things worse is that it has witnessed skyrocketing growth in its number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in recent days. 

On Saturday, the world's second most populous country reported its biggest single-day jump in coronavirus cases, adding 11,458 confirmed infections, according to federal health ministry.

The steadily increasing number of cases have something to do with easing of the national lockdown, which was imposed on March 25.

Millions of informal workers, which make up as much as 85 percent of the country's workforce, reportedly had to return home on foot or by train when they got the news that they would lose their jobs and could not afford their daily living needs. The exodus has contributed to the spread of infection between cities and also from the cities to the villages.
