The rises in cases reported every Monday:

Since testing is low due to the weekend, the increase in cases registered every Monday from the previous 24 hours is usually smaller than the one reported the day before. However, since the pandemic, this is the country’s largest single-day increase in incidents.

Several states continued to witness a record surge on Sunday:

Many states, including Maharashtra, Delhi, Kerala, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka, continued to experience record highs.

In response to the unexpected surge, governments across the country have instituted weekend lockdowns, night curfews, and other restrictions.

On Monday, Rajasthan’s state started a “self-discipline fortnight” that will last until 5 a.m. on 3rd May.

Later in the day, Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, will meet with lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal to address the pandemic condition in the region.
