New Delhi: Recording continuous high cases for the past several days, India on Sunday surpassed Russia to become the third nation in the world with the highest number of COVID-19 infected cases.

India is now only behind Brazil and the USA.

The country reported 24,422 new cases and 421 new deaths on Sunday, taking the total number of infections to 697,284 and fatalities to 19,700, reports Hindustan Times.

With nearly three million cases and 132,000 deaths,  the US still tops the chart.

Brazil is the second most badly hit nation in the world.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Brazil has surpassed 1.6 million with more than 26,000 new cases registered in the past 24 hours, the country’s Health Ministry said.

There are now a total of 1,603,055 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brazil. In the past 24 hours, 26,051 new cases and 602 new deaths from COVID-19 were confirmed, according to health ministry data on Sunday.

Brazil’s total coronavirus death toll stands at 64,867.

On Saturday, Brazil registered nearly 38,000 new coronavirus cases and more than a thousand new deaths from COVID-19. On Friday, Brazil reported 42,223 new coronavirus cases and 1,290 new coronavirus-related fatalities.

Brazil has seen a weekly rise of around 7,000 COVID-19 fatalities, which is the same increase as that of the previous seven-day period.

More than 906,200 people have recovered from COVID-19 in Brazil, according to the country’s health ministry.

After India surpassed it, Russia now has 681,251 Covid-19 infections and 10,161 deaths.
