India went under a complete lockdown starting from the midnight of March 25 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation and asked citizens to adhere to the norms issued to curb the spread of the virus. India has so far recorded 3,588 coronavirus cases, with 99 deaths related to the disease. According to data, there are currently 3,260 active cases of COVID-19 in the country.
Coronavirus outbreak
COVID-19 has claimed more than 65,400 lives across the world and has infected over 12,10,000 people globally since it first broke out in December 2019. China was the most affected country until last month before Italy and Spain surpassed it to record the most number of deaths anywhere in the world due to COVID-19. The virus is believed to have originated from a seafood market in China's Wuhan city, the epicentre of the disease, where animals were reportedly being traded illegally.
