NEW DELHI : India today recorded the biggest single-day spike of 5,242 new Covid-19 cases, with the total cases rising to 96,169 and the death toll crossing the 3,000-mark with 3,029 fatalities. The rise in cases comes amid relaxations given by the Centre in phase 4 of the nation-wide lockdown, which empowers states to frame guidelines on lifting restrictions and designating zones as Red, Orange and Green.
While Punjab has allowed shops to open from 7am to 6pm, all eyes are on decisions to be taken by other states. Operation of all markets, offices, industries and business along with plying of buses in all areas, barring containment zones, has been permitted by the MHA along with inter-state movement of buses and private vehicles with the consent of the involved states.
