Curfews have been reimposed across many states in India to contain the growing COVID-19 cases. Maharashtra has updated travel guidelines and people coming in from Goa, Rajasthan and Gujarat will need to produce a COVID-19 negative test result. On Tuesday, India's coronavirus cased tally crossed 9.18 million. 480 new deaths were registered on Monday.
There is hope on the horizon. Three vaccines have finished phase three trials. One of the vaccines is developed by Oxford/AstraZeneca and the doses will be delivered to India by Serum Institute. Serum Institute's Adar Poonawalla has said that India will be the first priority for the distribution.
Well, until then maybe the celebs can tone down on the vacay pics! We all can.
