Delhi, April 4:

Sixty-eight people have died in India after being infected with novel coronavirus or COVID-19, the Union Health Ministry said today, adding that the country recorded 601 fresh cases in last 24 hours. The new cases take the total to 2,902. 

The unprecedented spike in the number of cases across India over the last week has been linked to the controversial religious gathering held by Islamic group Tablighi Jamaat in south Delhi in March.
