Surge in cases as India prepares to lift lockdown

India has registered another record daily increase with 7,466 new coronavirus cases.

The Health Ministry's new figures on Friday show India now has 165,799 cases with 4,706 deaths, which both now exceed China.

India's two-month lockdown is set to end on Sunday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is expected to issue new guidelines this weekend, possibly extending the lockdown in worst-hit areas as it promotes economic activity.
