The Health Ministry confirms 9064 cured/discharged and 1152 deaths. The total number has risen to 35365 positive COVID cases
NEW DELHI| As the nationwide lockdown is about to an end on May 3, the government is ready to announce the partial lockdown plan further.
India in total holds 35,000 COVID-19 positive cases and more than 1,000 deaths.
However, experts are also concerned about the economic pain caused by the lockdown, which has affected millions. Besides relaxed lockdown rules for green zones, there are talks of a massive credit relief package for small businesses.
US President Donald Trump has threatened China with new tariffs as the country mulls retaliatory action against China over the Covid-19 virus. Trump also slammed WHO stating them as the new Public Relations Agency of Chine.
