For the first time, more than 2,000 COVID-19 deaths were registered in a single day in India (without considering backlogs) on Tuesday (April 20). As many as 2,007 deaths and 2,93,534 cases were recorded in the country.

The country has so far reported a total of 1,56,08,423 cases and 1,82,557 deaths.

Maharashtra reported 62,097 infections (accounting for nearly 22% of the new cases) on Tuesday, followed by Uttar Pradesh with 29,574 new infections and Delhi with 28,395 new cases.
