India reported more than 64,000 new cases of the novel coronavirus in a single day, with more than 1,000 deaths in the same period, federal Health Ministry data showed on Wednesday.

The world’s second-most populous country had 64,531 new infections, which took the virus tally to 2.8 million. The number of deaths rose by 1,092 to 52,889.
