India has now recorded more than five million confirmed cases of coronavirus.

It is the second-worst affected country in the world, but the virus is spreading much faster there than in the US, which is in the top spot.

More than 82,000 people have died with the virus in India, with more than 1,000 dying each day.

Hospitals in many cities are running out of intensive care beds and oxygen supplies.

But the government has been pointing out that the number of Indians dying with COVID-19 relative to the size of its population is a lot lower than in other badly hit countries.
