In the last 24 hours alone, more than 200,000 people have recovered. These numbers are promising, but there is a lot that definitely isn't.

The healthcare system is failing to cope. The shortages are proving to be deadly. Delayed medical response may be driving the toll. In the last 24 hours, more than 2,000 people have died.

The total number of deaths in India so far is close to the 200,000 mark.

The situation is devastating.

Patients are still struggling for medicines, beds and Oxygen. Critical patients are being turned away from hospitals because they've run out of capacity.

Around the world, countries are now turning away Indian travellers. At least 20 countries and regions have imposed travel restrictions on Indians.

The Maldives, Kuwait, Germany, Italy, Bangladesh, Iran and The Netherlands are among the latest to impose travel restrictions. The restrictions are ranging from tough quarantine measures to a complete ban.
