Record 70k+ new cases in a day, 13k just in Maharashtra

印度单日新增7万多例，创新高，仅马哈拉施特拉邦就新增1.3万例

NEW DELHI: India registered a record number of fresh Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, crossing the 70,000-mark for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic. With 70,101 new cases, the country’s tally crossed the 28-lakh mark at 28,33,015. With 978 fresh deaths, the country’s cumulative toll reached 53,929.

新德里：周三，印度新增病例创新记录，自疫情爆发以来单日新增首次突破7万例，达到70101例，全国累计确诊总数超过280万例，达到2833015例。新死亡病例978例，累计死亡病例达53929例。

The huge surge came on the back of a record number of cases in Maharashtra — which became the first state in the country to cross the 13,000-mark with 13,165 people testing positive for the virus — as well as seven other states registering their highest daily peak of fresh Covid patients. Maharashtra’s previous highest peak of fresh cases was recorded on August 8 with 12,822 cases.

马哈拉施特拉邦单日新增创纪录，成为印度首个单日新增突破1.3万例的邦，周三，该邦新增确13165例。另有7各邦单日新增创新高。马哈拉施特拉邦此前的最高纪录是8月8日，当日新增确诊12822例。

The active Covid cases in the country now stand at 6,88,162. A total of 20,90,924 patients have recovered from the virus – which translates into a recovery rate of 73.8%.

目前印度现存确诊688162例，累计治愈2090924名患者，治愈率为73.8%。

In the last 19 days of August alone, Maharashtra has added 2.07 lakh new cases and of these only 19,331, or 9.3%, were from Mumbai. In July, it took the state 26 days to add two lakh cases, indicating the rapid spread of the infection in other areas of Maharashtra. Worryingly for the state, the active caseload has now gone up to 1.6 lakh, after hovering under the 1.5 lakh range for the last 30 days. Maharashtra also registered 346 news deaths, taking the overall fatalities beyond the 21,000-mark to 21,033. Mumbai accounted for 46 of the 346 fatalities on Wednesday.

仅在8月的前19天，马哈拉施特拉邦就新增了20.7万例，其中只有19331例来自孟买，占9.3%。7月，该邦在26天内新增2万例，表明疫情在马哈拉施特拉邦其他地区迅速蔓延。令该邦担忧的是，在过去30天徘徊在15万范围内后，活跃病例数量现在上升至16万例。周三，马哈拉施特拉邦新增死亡346例，累计死亡病例超过2.1万，达到21033例。在周三的346例死亡病例中，有46例来自孟买。

After Maharashtra, Karnataka accounted for maxmum fatalities with 126 deaths, followed by Tamil Nadu with 116 casualties. Besides Maharashtra, the other states/UT that registered a record number of fresh infections were Kerala (2333 cases), UP (5156), Jharkhand (1266), Punjab (1693), Haryana (994), Chhattisgarh (759) and J&K (708).

继马哈拉施特拉邦之后，卡纳塔克邦的新增死亡病例最多，达到126例，其次是泰米尔纳德邦，116例。除了马哈拉施特拉邦，其他单日新增确诊病例创新高的邦为：喀拉拉邦(2333例)，北方邦(5156例)，贾坎德邦(1266例)，旁遮普(1693例)，哈里亚纳邦(994例)，恰蒂斯加尔邦(759例)和贾加克邦(708例)。

Other states that recorded casualties in double figures on Wednesday were . Andhra 86 more deaths, UP (53 deaths), West Bengal (53), Gujarat (17), Rajasthan (12), Odisha (10), Haryana (10), Madhya Pradesh (18), Punjab (24), J&K (11), Jharkhand (13) and Uttarakhand (14).

周三，新增死亡病例达两位数的邦为：安得拉邦（86例）北方邦（53例），西孟加拉邦（53例），古吉拉特邦（17例），拉贾斯坦邦（12例），奥里萨邦（10例），哈里亚纳邦（10例），中央邦（18例），旁遮普邦（24例），查谟和克什米尔（11例），贾坎德邦（13例），北阿坎德邦（14例）。

The target of our government is to reach 100000 cases per day to beat the US and very soon they will achieve it; advance congratulations Sir for your remarkable achievement- at least in one field we are going to beat the US

我们政府的目标是每天新增10万例，打败美国，这个目标很快就会实现的。我们至少将在一个领域击败美国。

Serum survey in Pune revealed presence of corona antibodies in 51% of the population. Extrapolate it to the entire country and you have infection in several crore people.

在普纳进行的血清调查显示，51%的人口带新冠抗体。按照这个比率，全国应该有成几千万人受到感染了。

Avin Khoval

Govt has failed miserably to control the virus spread.

We soon will become no 2 in total cases.

And then we will have 50 lac cases.

政府在控制疫情方面彻底失败了。我们很快就会成为世界第二。很快确诊就会达到500万例。

By touching 70000 cases a day the country is facing huge problem now

单日新增达到7万例，这个国家现正面临巨大的难题

Nachiket Katha

India is paying price of electing illiterate PM who thought beating vessels and lighting diyas would cure Covid.

印度正在为选了一个文盲总理而付出代价，他认为敲打锅碗瓢盆和点灯可以治愈新冠肺炎。

Raj Dutta

We’re halfway through August and cases are still rising rapidly

8月已经过了一半，病例还在激增

Kaizad Katrak

People are also responsible for the spread as we are not disciplined. One can see people unnecessarily moving out and having a picnic atmosphere in mumbai. The police are also not forcing people to wear the face mask or maintaining social distance.

人们也要为疫情蔓延负责，因为我们不自律。在孟买，仍看到人们随意外出。警方也没有强迫人们戴口罩或保持社交距离。

A Dutt

In the meantime, Pakistan has successfully brought down the infection rate from 5000plus to 500plus. Even Bangladesh and sanction-ridden Iran have to, some extent, successfully contained the spread. Shame on Indian leadership.

与此同时，巴基斯坦成功地将单日感染人数从5000多例降到了500多例。就连孟加拉国和受到制裁的伊朗也在某种程度上成功地遏制了疫情的蔓延。这是印度领导人的耻辱。

The government is not at all serious. If this goes on..The world will isolate Government shouldn't let India become the epicenter of Covid Pandemic

政府还是不够重视。再这样下去，全世界都会孤立印度，不能让印度成为疫情的中心

vijay thommandra

Even if a perfect vaccine is produced it will take more than one year to cover the entire population and by this time colossal loss would have taken place both economically and deathwise. Only chance India has got is the virus should disappear naturally.

即使研制出了一种完美的疫苗，也需要一年多的时间才能让所有人接种上，届时经济已经遭受重创，死亡人数也将不计其数。印度唯一的机会就是病毒自行消失。

Nirmal Dhiman

According to BJP , everything is fine and they feel India is doing better that rest of world in terms of Carona pandemic. They will keep on fooling people about recovery rate figures.

印度人民党说，一切都很好，他们觉得印度在控制疫情方面比其他国家做得更好。他们将继续利用治愈率愚弄人们。

Blaming Govt alone wont help...Govt cant do every thing. We the people have great responsibility too..

指责政府也无济于事…不能什么都靠政府做，人民也有责任……

Clap in Balconies and lighting Diyas might help
