Coronavirus: India's total COVID-19 cases cross 7,500; over 250 dead

India on Friday reported over 7,500 cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), including 254 deaths, data compiled from state government statistics showed. The development comes hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to take a call on extending the nationwide lockdown. Notably, both Odisha and Punjab have independently decided to extend the lockdown till April 30 and May 1 respectively.

India's Health Ministry reports 6,761 COVID-19 cases, 206 deaths

According to the latest update from the Union Health Ministry, by 5 pm on Friday, India had reported 6,761 cases of COVID-19. These include 206 deaths and 6,031 active cases along with 515 cured/discharged cases and one patient who migrated out of India. The Ministry said this evening that 37 deaths and 896 new cases had been reported in the past 24 hours.

1.47 lakh individuals tested for COVID-19 so far: ICMR

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said that by 9 pm on Friday, India had tested a total of 1,61,330 samples from 1,47,034 individuals for COVID-19—a testing rate of 113 per million. The Health Ministry said there is no community transmission in India.

Update
State government data indicates death toll stands at 254
