Many Indians who had been working in bigger cities are being forced to return to their villages after losing jobs because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The nation with the world’s second largest population has so far tested only about 30 million of its 1.4 billion people. As of August 17, India had confirmed 2,647,663 cases and 50,921 deaths, making it the third worst-hit country for Covid-19 cases, after the US and Brazil.
