India has crossed the mark of 3,000 of its Coronavirus cases.
The jump in infections is due to the diagnosis of hundreds of patients who attended the congregation of the Tablighi Jamaat in New Delhis Nizamuddin.
According to the Union health ministry, at least 647 people among the thousands who gathered at the Jamaats headquarters, have tested positive.
If we see the rise in cases in the last few days, it has primarily been due to an increase at a particular level, joint secretary in the ministry Lav Agarwal said.
He said because of the lockdown and our efforts to promote social distancing, cases were being reported but there was no sharp rise.
