India could become the world's worst affected country for coronavirus cases, potentially overtaking the U.S. in the relatively near future should current trends continue.
The Asian country, home to 1.35 billion people, overtook Brazil as the most affected country in terms of case numbers on Monday. World Health Organization figures show it has now had 4.28 million cases, compared with 4.14 million cases in Brazil.
