Covid-19: Fresh cases at 4.13 lakh, deaths near 4,000 in a day

India recorded 4,12,784 new cases, by far the highest single-day count in any country so far. The day's death toll climbed close to the 4,000 mark at 3,980. Alarmingly, the record surge in cases came out of a reduced number of tests conducted the previous day. As a result, the test positivity rate (TPR) for the last three days climbed to 24.4%.
