There are 7,367 active cases, 716 cured/discharged/migrated and 273 deaths, as per the latest update by the ministry of health and family welfare.Italy has reported 431 new coronavirus deaths in the last 24 hours, which is the smallest overnight increase in the country in three weeks, said the head of the National Civil Protection Department Angelo Borrelli on Sunday.The total number of COVID-19 fatalities in Italy stood at 19,899.This is the lowest daily death toll since March 19, when 427 fatalities were recorded.The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Sunday said that it has conducted a total of 1,95,748 tests for coronavirus as on April 12."A total of 1,95,748 samples from 1,81,028 individuals have been tested as on April 12, 2020, 9 PM," ICMR said in a statement.Earlier today, the apex health research body said that no vaccine has yet been developed for the treatment of coronavirus.The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation has opened up its kitchen units in 28 towns and cities across the country for serving community meals to the poor and needy in the wake of coronavirus lockdown."More than 6 lakhs meals (more than 60,000 meals daily) have been distributed so far with the help of local administration, NGOs and RPF. IRCTC is ready to prepare additional meals if the demand for the same is received and more distribution agencies are available. Present daily expenditure incurred on this account is Rs 12 lakh per day," IRCTC said in a release.The number of coronavirus containment zones in the national capital rose to 43 on Sunday, with southeast Delhi having the most such zones at 12.There were 33 COVID-19 hotspots in the city on Monday. With the announcement of 10 more containment zones, the respective district authorities have started to seal those areas to stop the spread of the virus.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was discharged from hospital on Sunday, a Downing Street spokesman said, a week after being admitted for treatment for coronavirus and spending three days in intensive care."The PM has been discharged from hospital to continue his recovery, at Chequers," the spokesman said, referring to the prime minister's country estate outside London."On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work."With 918 fresh cases of coronavirus reported in the last 24 hours, the total number of confirmed cases in the country has reached 8,447 including 273 deaths, said Lav Aggarwal, joint secretary, health on Sunday.He said that 716 people have recovered so far.The ministry said that the government is increasing the testing capacity in private and government medical colleges.Spain's daily death toll from the coronavirus rose to 619 on Sunday, after falling for three straight days, the government said.The country, one of the worst hit by the pandemic, has now recorded 16,972 deaths from COVID-19.The daily toll was from 510 on Saturday, compared with a record 950 deaths as recently as April 2. The number of confirmed cases rose by 4,167 to 166,019, a smaller increase than was recorded on Saturday.According to the ministry's data updated in the morning, the highest number of confirmed cases in the country are from Maharashtra at 1,761, followed by Delhi at 1,069 and Tamil Nadu at 969.More than 1.7 million people have been reported to be infected by the novel coronavirus globally and 108,252 have died, according to a Reuters tally. Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.Some lab data show that hydroxychloroquine may have some effects in Covid-19. But the data are not that strong. Experts at ICMR felt that it may be helpful in close contacts of Covid-19 patients and healthcare workers taking care of the patients, according to Delhi AIIMS director Randeep Guleria."Hydroxychloroquine is not a treatment for everyone. It can have cardiac toxicity leading to irregular heart beat. Like any other drug, this also has side effects. It can do more harm than good for general public," he added.The World Bank on Sunday said the coronavirus outbreak has severely disrupted the Indian economy, magnifying pre-existing risks to its outlook. In its “South Asia Economic Update: Impact of COVID-19”, the World Bank estimated the Indian economy to decelerate to 5 per cent in 2020 and projected a sharp growth deceleration in fiscal 2021 to 2.8 per cent in a baseline scenario.The World Bank said migrant workers returning home could become vectors carrying the coronavirus to unaffected states and villages and that preliminary findings indicated in India many outmigration areas are likely to have Covid-19 cases. In its biannual regional report, the World Bank said South Asia is one of the highest population density areas in the world, and that preventing domestic coronavirus transmission is an enormous challenge in the region.A consignment of hydroxychloroquine from India arrived in the United States on Saturday, days after New Delhi lifted a ban on export of the anti-malaria drug, seen as a possible cure for COVID-19, to the US and some other countries on humanitarian grounds.Earlier this week, India at the request of President Donald Trump cleared the export of 35.82 lakh tablets of hydroxychloroquine to the US along with nine metric tons of active pharmaceutical ingredient or API required in the manufacturing of the drug.The United States passed the grim milestone of 20,000 coronavirus deaths Saturday as huge swaths of the globe celebrated the Easter holiday weekend under lockdown at home. The US became the first country in the world to record more than 2,000 deaths in a 24-hour period from Covid-19 infections.The outbreak has now claimed the lives of at least 20,506 people in the US, which leads the world in deaths and in the number of declared infections -- at least 527,111.Italy, the hardest-hit country in Europe with a population a fifth the size of the US, recorded 19,468 confirmed virus fatalities.Russia on Sunday reported 2,186 new coronavirus cases, the largest daily increase since the start of the outbreak, bringing the national tally of confirmed cases to 15,770. The number of coronavirus-related deaths rose by 24 to 130, the Russian coronavirus crisis response centre said.The Akshaya Patra Foundation, which daily provided mid-day meals to 18 lakh school students in 12 states and two Union territories, has taken upon itself to provide meals daily to lakhs of migrant labourers, poor and destitute during the 21-day Covid-19 lockdown period.Even as the 21-day lockdown looks set to be extended, the Centre in consultation with states is moving to restart economic activity in a graded manner in what marks a major change of approach in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Spelling out the shift in a video conference with chief ministers on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while the earlier mantra was "jaan hai to jahan hai (if there is life, you can enjoy the world)", the way ahead would be guided by “jaan bhi, jahan bhi (life as well as our world)”.
