India records highest daily increase in virus cases globally

India on Sunday registered a record new 78,761 coronavirus cases, the highest single-day spike in the world since the pandemic began, just as the government began easing restrictions to help the battered economy. The surge raised India's tally to over 3.5 million, and came as the government announced the reopening of subway in capital New Delhi. A country of 1.4 billion people, India now has the fastest-growing daily coronavirus caseload of any country in the world.
