NEW DELHI: India's confirmed coronavirus cases crossed the three million mark Sunday with nearly 70,000 new infections, as the disease continues to surge in the world's second most-populous nation.
Authorities in New Delhi said last week that an antibody study in the megacity suggested more than a quarter of the capital's population had contracted the infection. But the epidemic has left Asia's third-largest economy reeling, and tens of millions of people have lost their jobs and livelihoods.Individual states and cities have imposed localised lockdowns - including Haryana and Punjab, where cases have spiked in recent weeks.
