India with the highest number of COVID-19 cases

High infection rates of COVID-19 in India is alarming (“Coronavirus cases set to explode, hospitals running out of beds”, Gulf News, June 09) . India records highest single-day jump in coronavirus cases. The country has now become the fourth most affected nation by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite a host of new measures implemented by the Indian government, the number of people infected with the virus has yet to come down. I believe this is due to people's carelessness, as many in the country are not following the rules put in place by the state for their own protection. As a result, the pandemic is now spreading faster than ever before. It is high time for the people of India to face the pandemic responsibly.
