India’s single day tally of 78,761 coronavirus infections on Sunday was the highest reported by any nation since the pandemic began, reports Reuters.

It surpassed a July 16 figure of 77,299 cases in the United States, a Reuters tally of official data showed.

The world’s second most populous nation is the third worst affected globally after the United States and Brazil, but its daily tallies have exceeded those of the other two countries for almost two weeks.
