On Monday ( 21st Sept 2020 ), India, where the epidemic was raging, reopened the famous tourist attraction Taj Mahal, which was closed for more than 6 months, symbolizing that everything is back to normal.
In fact, the COVID-19 epidemic in India has become more and more serious. In the past 24 hours, India has newly confirmed 87,000 cases and newly died 1,130. A total of 87,882 people have died so far.
Outsiders speculate that India is likely to soon replace the United States as the country with the worst epidemic situation in the world.
Agence France-Presse reported that India, with a population of 1.3 billion and the world's most congested city, has so far accumulated more than 5.48 million confirmed cases of coronary disease. The nationwide blockade implemented since March has severely damaged India's economy. In recent months, the Modi government has repeatedly relaxed restrictions, including restoring train services, opening domestic flights, markets, and restaurants; the famous tourist attraction Taj Mahal, which has been closed since March, has also reopened from week.
Local officials emphasized that visitors to the Taj Mahal must observe strict social distancing measures, including mandatory wearing of masks, and the maximum number of daily visitors is 5,000, which is a quarter of the previous daily visits. Tickets can only be purchased online.
According to statistics, the number of confirmed coronary patients worldwide rose to 31.223 million, and the death toll was nearly 965,000. The United States, with the largest number of confirmed cases, rose to 7.005 million and the death toll reached 204,000.
