Mumbai, 20th October: Half of India’s population is feared to be infected with the coronavirus, according to a recent study.
Baaghi TV: An Indian government committee tasked with projecting the coronavirus has said that by February next year, about half of the country’s population will be infected with the deadly pandemic.
According to the report, it is likely that around 1.3 billion people will be infected with coronavirus in India.
At present, 7.5 million people in India are infected with the coronavirus and it is the second most infected country after the United States.
