The number of confirmed novel coronavirus cases in India has gone up to 114, according to the health ministry. Covid-19, which has globally infected over 1.5 lakh people, is likely to cause more shutdowns across the country as more states rush to stop the virus from spreading. While 13 people who were infected by the virus have recovered in India, the global situation still paints a grim picture. The death toll due to new coronavirus has shot up sharply in Italy, which has now become the country worst affected by the virus outbreak after China. Iran, too, faces heightened risk as total death toll in the country has crossed 700 while there are close to 14,000 confirmed cases. Besides taking precautions to prevent the spread of the virus domestically, India is also actively rescuing its nationals stuck in the high-affected zone.
