Covid’s new hunting ground: Rural India, as cases surge with return of migrants

Covid-19 has now found a new hunting ground – rural India. After having many cities reel under its effect, there has been a trend reversal with rural districts in many states reporting a spike in cases. And, health authorities say it was mostly migrants returning home that led to this steady rise, with states reporting a jump ranging between 30% and 80% in rural areas since the influx began.
