India's total coronavirus caseload is expected to surpass the United States' tally of more than 6.6 million cases within weeks.
Coronavirus infections in India soared past five million on Wednesday, as the EU's chief warned against"vaccine nationalism" in the frantic global race to battle the disease.
"People have lost their fear or are too tired being cautious. They want to be out and earn a living right now," Jayant Surana, a New Delhi-based entrepreneur, told AFP. "We are ready for any conditions and instructions on the coronavirus. Just let us in!" read a handwritten sign carried by one of the faithful in the video.'Nationalism puts lives at risk'
In an implicit swipe at US President Donald Trump's approach, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Europe would lead the world in the search for a vaccine and support multilateral bodies like the WHO."None of us will be safe until all of us are safe - wherever we live, whatever we have," she said."Vaccine nationalism puts lives at risk. Vaccine cooperation saves them."
Many European countries that had started to ease their restrictions after bringing outbreaks under control, face worrying spikes in infections again.AP
