India records 83,883 new COVID-19 cases
India has confirmed 83,883 new cases of the coronavirus on Thursday.
This brings India’s total number of confirmed cases to more than 3.8m – just 100,000 behind Brazil, the country with the second-highest number of cases in the world.
Maharashtra is the worst hit state.
Analysts suggest India’s real number is likely to be much higher because testing, although increased, is still relatively low.
