As testing increases and due to the influx of people from across India and countries, some states are recording spikes in cases and number of deaths. Experts say that India should still be testing more than it currently is, and the number of cases detected is expected to go up as states ramp up testing.
Cases across the world are currently at 62,66,193 with 3,75,554 deaths (according to the map by Johns Hopkins) as on June 2.
