India's home minister, Amit Shah, and Delhi's chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, are holding an emergency meeting in the capital to address the continuing rise in coronavirus cases there.

It's their second meeting in less than a week, and comes amid concerns about the city's ability to manage the crisis.

For weeks, the number of new daily cases in Delhi has been steadily rising - and anecdotal evidence suggests the healthcare system is overwhelmed.

Now the chief minister has confirmed plans to requisition nursing homes for coronavirus use. That will make about 5,000 more beds available.

In the future, hotel rooms and banquet halls may be converted too.

On Sunday, the daily total across India rose again with nearly 12 thousand new cases. Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Delhi are some of the worst affected states.
