The total tally now stands at 236,657 and 6,642 have died. India now has more coronavirus cases than Italy. Europe's epicenter has 234,531 coronavirus cases. 33,774 died there. Here's more.

    The numbers are swelling in these states

    Bengal's cases rose after migrant workers returned: Mamata Banerjee

    West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee attributed the influx in cases to migrant workers, who suffered most due to coronavirus-induced lockdown. "COVID-19 cases were quite low in Bengal but it has risen because of one reason, many of our brothers and sisters have returned from outside (the state)," she said. Bengal claims 10 lakh people have returned so far, more are on the way.

    Governments have been given 15 days to send migrants home

    Yesterday, the Supreme Court gave Central and states governments 15 days to transport the migrants. The final order on the humanitarian crisis which played out on Indian highways was reserved for Tuesday. In the last hearing in May, the apex court ordered that sending states must give food to the laborers and said Railways should provide them with food and water.

    Rahul Gandhi slammed government with a graph; Adityanath replied too

    While the country battles the virus, barbs from politicians continued. Congress' Rahul Gandhi put out a graph on India's lockdown and the unlocking phase, to cite that the strict restrictions served no purpose as cases are rising. Later, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said if BJP paid attention to them (Congress), India would have become another Italy. "Let India be India," he told LiveHindustan.

    US remains worst-hit nation, Trump said "we are through worst"

    Globally, coronavirus ripped the United States apart. The total number of infections stands at 1,965,708 and 111,390 have died. The failure to contain the virus' transmission put President Donald Trump in the line of fire. But he said on Friday that the US has made it "through" the worst of the pandemic. He made these remarks after data showed a surprising surge in employment.

    As employment rose, Trump said he took right decisions

    Yesterday, the US' Labor Department revealed that 2.5 million jobs were gained in May and the unemployment rate dipped to 13.3%. An elated Trump stood by his decisions and suggested the economy will rebound faster if lockdowns, imposed at local levels, are lifted. "We had the greatest economy in the history of the world. And that strength let us get through this horrible pandemic," he added.
