COVID tally crosses 90,000, deaths 2800

NEW DELHI, May 16:  The nationwide COVID-19 tally crossed 90,000 today with new cases getting detected from Ganjam in Odisha to Patna in Bihar to Thrissur in Kerala, and mostly among people having returned from big Indian cities or even from abroad.
Several big urban centres also continued to report large numbers, with just five of them — Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Pune — now taking a share of over 50 per cent in the nationwide count of the deadly virus infection with close to 46,000 cases. These five also account for over half of the nationwide death toll of close to nearly 2,800 so far. (PTI)
