衛生部的數據顯示，在擁有13億人口的印度，總共有1731萬例感染和195,123例死亡，在一夜之間發生了2,812例死亡，儘管衛生專家表示，死亡人數可能要高得多。 儘管造成第二波殘酷的感染，但政界人士，尤其是莫迪（Modi），因舉行數千人集會而聚集在體育場和場地內，因此遭到批評。 有幾個城市下令實行宵禁，而警察也已被調動以疏遠社會和戴上口罩。 儘管如此，預計在周一東部邦西孟加拉邦仍將有約860萬選民投票，這是本週將結束的八階段選舉的倒數第二部分。 印度其他地區的地方選舉投票包括人口最多的北方邦，該國報告平均每天感染30,000人。 政府數據顯示，莫迪在4月5日接種疫苗達到450萬劑的最高峰後，就開始進行疫苗接種了，但此後的平均每日接種量約為270萬劑。 包括馬哈拉施特拉邦在內的數個州，最富有的州於週日在某些地方停止了疫苗接種，稱沒有供應。 隨著本月擴大接種活動，供應不足，需求旺盛，而公司卻在努力提高產量，部分原因是原料短缺和生產阿斯利康劑量的設施發生火災。 醫生說，莫迪家鄉古吉拉特邦的醫院屬於嚴重缺氧的醫院之一。 數據顯示，在西部州最大的城市艾哈邁達巴德的166家私人醫院中，只有7張ICU病床，總共1,277張病床可供治療。 艾哈邁達巴德醫學協會（Ahmedabad Medical Association）前主席蒙娜·德賽（Mona Desai）表示：“問題到處都是嚴峻的，尤其是在沒有中央供氧管線且使用氣瓶的小型醫院中。”
...India, with a population of 1.3 billion, has a tally of 17.31 million infections and 195,123 deaths, after 2,812 deaths overnight, health ministry data showed, although health experts say the death count is probably far higher...RALLY BACKLASH
Politicians, especially Modi, have faced criticism for holding rallies attended by thousands of people, packed close together in stadiums and grounds, despite the brutal second wave of infections.
Several cities have ordered curfews, while police have been deployed to enforce social distancing and mask-wearing.
Still, about 8.6 million voters were expected to cast ballots on Monday in the eastern state of West Bengal, in the penultimate part of an eight-phase election that will wrap up this week.
Voting for local elections in other parts of India included the most populous state of Uttar Pradesh, which has been reporting an average of 30,000 infections a day.
Modi's plea on vaccinations came after inoculations peaked at 4.5 million doses on April 5, but have since averaged about 2.7 million a day, government figures show.
Several states, including Maharashtra, the richest, halted vaccinations in some places on Sunday, saying supplies were not available.
Supply has fallen short of demand as the inoculation campaign was widened this month, while companies struggle to boost output, partly because of a shortage of raw material and a fire at a facility making the AstraZeneca dose.
Hospitals in Modi's home state of Gujarat are among those facing an acute shortage of oxygen, doctors said.
Just seven ICU beds of a total of 1,277 were available in 166 private hospitals designated to treat the virus in the western state's largest city of Ahmedabad, data showed.
"The problem is grim everywhere, especially in smaller hospitals, which do not have central oxygen lines and use cylinders," said Mona Desai, former president of the Ahmedabad Medical Association.
