In Pictures: India Under Lockdown - July 6
In the last 24 hours, India has reported a spike of 24,248 new coronavirus cases and 425 deaths. The country which, at present, is nearing 7 lakh cases and over 19,500 deaths, has overtaken Russia to become the third worst-affected nation. Lockdown restrictions are being gradually eased in many parts of the country but some states have reimposed their own versions of the lockdown to keep a check on the swelling Covid-19 cases. With the flattening of the curve still looking like a distant sight, let's take a look at what India looks like under lockdown, in pictures:
