Coronavirus: As infections break records, scientists say government ignored warnings

Indian officials had been warned about a more contagious variant of the coronavirus in March, scientific advisers reportedly said. India reported 3.92 lakh new infections on Sunday, a marginal dip from a record spike of 4.01 lakh new cases. The country also recorded its deadliest day with 3,689 fatalities. Experts surmise that the second wave is deadlier and more contagious due to mutant variants.
