New Delhi: India struggles to contain the spike in coronavirus COVID-19 cases as several states witness a massive jump in the number of infections. Some states have reported doubling of cases while some have registered a spike of nearly 10 times.

Notably, since the Shramik trains were permitted to operate from May 1, states with atleast 1000 cases of the coronavirus saw the numbers almost double. These trains carried migrant labourers from different states to their native states.

Also adding to the total tally of cases was the start of international flights from May 7 which brought stranded Indians from abroad to their home states.

According to the Union Health Ministry data on May 1, there were 35 thousand COVID-19 cases in the country and the death toll was less than 1150. 

While on Saturday, India's total of COVID-19 positive cases crossed 2.36 lakh while the number of fatalities rose to 6,348. Nearly 10,000 new cases and 294 deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours.
