India recorded a new record for those infected with Corona, as the total number of HIV cases rose to more than 400,000 on the fourth consecutive day, today, Sunday, while an unknown person infected with the virus caused the extension of the precautionary restrictions in Sydney, Australia.

Although many Indian states imposed strict general isolation measures to limit the spread of the "tsunami of Corona", according to the description of the authorities, the Indian Ministry of Health recorded more than 4 thousand deaths during the past 24 hours, bringing the total deaths to more than 242 thousand.

The injuries also exceeded 403,000 new infections, bringing the total since the start of the pandemic to 22 million.

Herd immunity

In Russia, Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko said today, Sunday, that herd immunity from the emerging corona virus "Covid-19" is expected in the country by next September.

The Russian "Sputnik" agency stated that the number of Coronavirus cases in Russia since the start of the pandemic has exceeded 4 million 870 thousand cases.

On December 5, Russia began a general vaccination campaign against the Corona virus, after the Russian Ministry of Health recorded the world's first vaccine against "Covid-19", which is the "Sputnik-V" vaccine, last August.

Unknown casualty

In Sydney, Australia, restrictions imposed on gatherings were extended for another week in the city and surrounding areas, after health officials said they were unable to determine how a man in the population was infected with the Corona virus.

The government of New South Wales, which includes Sydney, has extended safety measures until the morning of May 17, the state health authority said in a statement on Sunday.

The restrictions imposed on 6 May, which were due to be eased on Monday, are under review.

The officials said that "despite extensive investigations so far, NSW Health has not determined the source of infection for the first case of Corona, and this indicates that the man was infected with a short contact with a person who is currently unknown and was susceptible to transmitting infection among members of the community."
