Deaths from COVID-19 infections rose by 971 to 105,526, the ministry said.
India’s death toll from the novel coronavirus rose past 100,000 on Saturday, only the third country in the world to reach that bleak milestone, after the United States and Brazil, and its epidemic shows no sign of abating.
Last week, India further eased restrictions and permitted states to open schools and movie theaters.

Trump says he’s thinking of putting Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Supreme Court
- Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican ‘an amazing guy’
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas: President Donald Trump on Friday said he was considering nominating Republican Senator Ted Cruz for a future seat on the US Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.
Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican “an amazing guy,” joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.
“He’s the only guy I know, he’ll get 100 percent of the Democrat vote, 100 percent of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the ass, but he’s so good and so talented.”
