The Indian Parliament meets for the first time in 6 months as Corona injuries increase

The Indian Parliament held a session yesterday for the first time in six months, with the country registering more than 90,000 cases of the emerging coronavirus in one day, bringing the total number of infections in the country close to five million.

Members of Parliament, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, put masks and sat in seats separated by glass barriers and were designed to prevent the spread of the virus, and ultraviolet rays were used to repel germs in air-conditioning systems to reduce the chances of infection spreading.

The "NDTV" network, citing official sources, reported that 17 MPs had been infected with the Coronavirus in the compulsory tests that were implemented before the parliament convened yesterday morning. The Indian Prime Minister said, "The parliamentary session begins at critical times.

There is Corona and there is a duty », he also thanked the deputies for allowing the parliament to convene.

“There can be no indolence without a cure,” Modi told the media before the session began.

We hope that a vaccine will appear soon, regardless of its source, from anywhere in the world ».

India's Home Minister Amit Shah, Modi's close aide, missed the session, and had spent most of August in the hospital after contracting the virus and came back at the weekend for checks, the hospital administration said.

India, the second most populous country in the world, is ranked second in the world after the United States in terms of total injuries, but its daily infection rates are the fastest among countries in the world.

Yesterday, the Indian Ministry of Health said that it had recorded 92,071 new cases of the virus during the past 24 hours, bringing the total cases to 4.85 million.

The death cases are relatively low compared to the number of cases in India, but their rates are rising.

The ministry said that more than 1,100 people died as a result of infection with Covid-19 during the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths due to this disease to 79,722 cases.

India had imposed a strict lockdown from March 25, which led to the loss of millions of jobs, although it had begun to ease restrictions since mid-May to revive the economy.
