COVID cases in India continue to climb

[KARE 11 News, May 03, 2021] Dr. Frank Rhame has a soft spot in his heart for India. He's been there five times throughout his life, for both work and pleasure.

He's now an infectious disease expert at Allina Health and says experts worldwide can learn a lot from what's happening in India right now.

"I don't think there's any country whose case rate went up that fast," Dr. Rhame said.

How fast? Well, just two months ago India was seeing around 12,000 new cases a day. On Friday, Indian health officials reported 400,000 new daily cases, more than any other country has seen in a single day since the pandemic started.
