Islamic Centre of India has issued an advisory on Friday that all COVID-19 protocols be followed during Ramadan. The advisory comes at a time when India is facing a fresh surge in COVID-19 cases. India is the third worst-hit country after the United States and Brazil.
On Friday, India set a new record of daily COVID-19 cases with 1,31,968 infections reported in the last 24 hours. This is the fourth time in five days when India reported over one lakh new COVID-19 cases.
The total number of COVID-19 cases in the country now is over 1.3 crores. 1,67,64 people have died of the infection in India, with 780 deaths recorded in the last 24 hours.
The fresh COVID-19 surge is much steeper than last year's wave. This has forced many states to impose strict restrictions and fresh curbs to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
