The number of coronavirus cases in the country witnessed a surge last week as hundreds tested positive after attending a religious gathering held by the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi's Nizamuddin last month. A top health ministry official on Sunday said that the rate of doubling of coronavirus cases cases in India is at present 4.1 days but if the cases linked to the Tablighi Jamaat congregation would not have happened, it would have been 7.4 days. State governments have since then been tracing those who attended the event and the people they came in contact with.
