India has reported the biggest daily rise of coronavirus infections of any country since the pandemic began more than a year ago.
It registered nearly 315,000 new cases in a single day.
The country is in the grips of a vicious second wave, with intensive care wards in the capital on the verge of full capacity.

With no numbers rising as sharply, COVID-19 is spreading faster here than in any other country around the world.
