April 2021 – Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in India have grown exponentially to over 17 million, with daily cases increasing from around 10,000 at the beginning of February 2021 to more than 350,000 by the end of April. According to the WHO Health Emergency Dashboard, on April 27 alone, India officially recorded over 2,700 deaths due to COVID-19. However, excess deaths attributable to the virus were likely many times this figure. This second wave has overwhelmed health infrastructure across the country. In major cities like Mumbai and Delhi, there are severe shortages of ICU hospital beds, medical oxygen and medications to treat COVID-19. Hospitals are overcrowded and turning away patients. Hospitalization facilities, human resources capacity, bedding availability, and ambulance services are in high demand. A growing number of Indian states have implemented lockdowns.
