Coronavirus in India: India's Covid-19 case tally crossed 34 lakh-mark with a spike of 76,472 new cases and 1,021 deaths in the last 24 hours. This is the fourth straight day that the country reported more than 1,000 Covid-19 fatalities.

He added that based on the submission of the SOPs, a decision on restarting gyms in the state would be taken. BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, on the other hand, said that religious places in Maharashtra should be opened as in other states. If liquor shops and malls can reopen with the relaxation of lockdown, why should religious places remain closed, he said. On Friday, the state reported 14,361 COVID cases, which pushed its overall tally to 7,47,995, a state health official told news agency PTI. The death toll due to the virus reached 23,775 as the state reported 331 fatalities during the day, he added.
