  7. India's capital sees sharp rise in coronavirus casespublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 25 August 2020

    India’s capital Delhi has seen coronavirus cases rise by more than a quarter over the previous week, according to the latest data.

    More than 9,000 positive cases were recorded in the week from 18 August to 24 August, up from just over 7,200 the previous week.

    There’s been little change in testing numbers since the start of August so that would not account for the increase.

    The proportion of positive cases has also risen - from 5.8% up to 7.8% over those two weeks.

    This figure went as high as 31% in mid-June, and then dropped to 5.7% in July and is now seeing a rise again.

    Delhi has one of the highest testing rates in India, and has done nearly 76,000 tests per million people, much higher than the national average of just under 27,000 per million.

    There’s more about India’s testing programme here.
