Reuters: New COVID-19 cases in India rise sharply for fifth consecutive day
NEW DELHI, Jan 2 (Reuters) - India reported more than 27,000 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, with infections sharply rising for a fifth consecutive day, but the chief minister of the capital New Delhi said there was no need to panic, citing low hospitalisation rates.
