Examining the impact of COVID-19 on the world's fastest-growing population.

With cases of COVID-19 climbing by the tens of thousands week after week, India has seen a surge of infections during its blistering monsoon season.

The influx of COVID-19 has seen the country’s medical infrastructure be put to the test, while bringing the developing economy of the world’s fastest-growing population to a halt.
