Coronavirus Pandemic LIVE Updates: The number of coronavirus cases in India crossed the 20,000-mark today. Of these 20,471 cases so far, 15,859 are active cases and 3,959 are cured or discharged. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with the chief ministers of all states via video-conference on April 27. Modi has earlier already participated in two such conferences to discuss the coronavirus pandemic and the steps being taken to arrest the spread of the virus. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said 1,486 new cases of #coronavirus and 49 deaths have been reported from the country in the last 24 hours. India's death toll has risen to 652.
Against the backdrop of attacks on healthcare personnel fighting #coronavirus, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an ordinance making acts of violence against them as cognizable and non-bailable offences, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said. He said the proposed ordinance also provides for compensation for injury to healthcare service personnel or for causing damage or loss to property. The proposed ordinance will amend the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897.
