For the last four days, the country has been recording over 20,000 positive cases on a daily basis. India went past Russia on Sunday and became the third worst-hit nation by the COVID-19 pandemic. Only the United States and Brazil are ahead of India in terms of total coronavirus cases. The number of positive cases is increasing day by day in the country. According to reports, it took 110 days for coronavirus cases in India to reach one lakh, while just 48 days more to go past the seven lakh-mark. Most of the states have lifted down the coronavirus-induced lockdown to resurrect the economy. On the other hand, the government has announced several schemes and packages to help people, who are grappling not only with the pandemic but unemployment.
