For the fourth consecutive day, India broke the highest single-day record of confirmed cases in a single country, and the number of new cases on Sunday reached a record 350,000. Indian Prime Minister Modi called on the public on Sunday to get vaccinated and pay attention to protection. Modi said that the new corona epidemic is seriously shaking the country's stability, and the lockdown of the capital New Delhi will be extended by one week. The White House said it will urgently provide India with the raw materials needed to produce vaccines.

The second wave of the epidemic in India is severe. One person dies every 4 minutes in the capital New Delhi. India added 349,6991 confirmed cases on Sunday, which is the fourth consecutive day that the world record of single-day confirmed cases has been broken. The Ministry of Health of India reported that India has confirmed a total of 16.96 million cases and a total of 192,311 deaths.

The Indian medical system is struggling to cope with the surge in the number of confirmed cases. Reuters said that hospitals across the country, including the capital New Delhi, refused to accept new patients due to lack of oxygen and no beds. Reports allege that hospitals are overwhelmed, oxygen and medicine are severely lacking, and patient's families are seeking help on social media.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a radio speech to the nation on Sunday, "We have defeated the first wave of epidemics, but this stormy wave of epidemics is shaking the entire country." Modi called on the public to be vaccinated and pay attention to protection.
The Modi government was criticized for the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures at the beginning of the year. At that time, India had an average of 10,000 newly diagnosed cases in a single day. The government re-allowed the opening of large-scale political and religious gatherings. Many hospitals and doctors have issued warnings that the hospitals will be overwhelmed.

Twitter confirmed on Sunday that, at the request of the Indian government, dozens of tweets criticizing the spread of the crisis had been removed.

New Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal said on Sunday that the new corona virus continues to spread in New Delhi and it is necessary to extend the lockdown for a week until the early morning of May 3rd.
In addition, the Indian government estimates that the nationwide wave of epidemics may not peak until mid-May, and Uttar Pradesh may become the next hot spot for the epidemic. The authorities have increased the supply of medical oxygen and medicines, and increased the delivery of oxygen tank vehicles.

The epidemic in India is severe, and European and American countries have extended a helping hand. In the latest news, the White House pointed out on Sunday that the United States will urgently provide India with the raw materials, medical equipment and protective equipment needed to produce vaccines.
