BBC News. I'm John Shea. Officials in India say the country recorded more than 57000 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, the highest daily total to date. Our South Asia editor Jill McGivering reports. This is the 3rd day in a row that India recorded more than 50000 new cases of coronavirus as daily totals continue to climb steadily. Maharashtra, home to the financial capital Mumbai, is still the worst affected state. But there are rapid rises in many other parts of the country, too, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Assam. India's testing program has expanded, but claims are being investigated that in the city of Pune in July, hundreds of suspected cases were never added to official figures because tests were never carried out.
