50 doctors die of COVID in India, within 24 hours

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) says 50 doctors have died of coronavirus within one day.

The association disclosed this its recent update, adding that over 200 doctors in India have died of COVID-19 as the country battles its second wave of infections.

IMA said 736 doctors died of the virus during the first wave.

The figure may, however, represent only a portion of the total number of doctors who have died of coronavirus in India, as the IMA is said to only records deaths among its members.

So far, India has recorded over 25 million confirmed cases of the virus and more than 290,000 deaths.
