COVID-19: Positive cases mount to 1071 across India

New Delhi, Mar 30: A day after India’s coronavirus cases crossed the 1,000-mark, the death count rose to 29, the Union Health Ministry said today. The number of infected rose to 1,071, including the dead and 100 who have recovered. The government today also denied “rumours and media reports” claiming that the 21-day nationwide lockdown to check the spread of coronavirus or covid-19 would be extended are “baseless”.
