The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has urged the government to upscale its preparedness considering the increase in COVID-19 cases.
IMA said that 5.37 lakh new cases have been detected in the USA, Japan, South Korea, France, and Brazil, while India has reported 145 new cases in the last 24 hours.
