The nationwide tally of coronavirus cases has crossed 1.45 lakh after 6,535 people tested positive for the deadly virus infection in the last 24 hours. The total cases in the country stood at 1,45,380, including 4,167 deaths, according to data from the Union Health Ministry. While badly-hit Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Delhi continued to report large numbers of positive cases, states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Jharkhand have seen their COVID-19 cases rise. The increase in the number of cases in India comes amid relaxations by the government, two months after a countrywide lockdown was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
