WHO also confirmed the first 'Covid-19' case in Egypt. The virus has since then spread to several countries across the world, including India. | The Times of India | Facebook

A total of 64,68,388 adult Covid-19 infections were estimated in India by early May, say the results of the ICMR’s sero-survey. The official tally at the time was even lower at only 85,940 cases detected till May 15. This would indicate most cases may have been missed during the first few months of the outbreak in the country. This could have been due to the testing strategy tailored by limited test kits and lab capacity as well as asymptomatic people. | The Times of India
