										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the first time in a month, India&#8217;s daily COVID-19 cases have nearly quadrupled from the previous day to moreover 2,000, according to official statistics, as Kerala reports a large increase in mortality. The year before, India was at the heart of the worldwide COVID issue, but the condition has now eased, and most measures, including the use of masks, have lately been abandoned.</p>
<p>New Delhi, India&#8217;s capital, increased COVID measures for schools last week, while Uttar Pradesh, India&#8217;s most populated state, made masks mandatory in public areas in several regions once more. As per health ministry data, officials recorded 2,183 new illnesses on Monday, bringing the total number of infections to more than 43 million.</p>
