Infections in India increased to 410,461 on Sunday, after it added more than 15,000 new cases - the highest daily spike yet, according to Johns Hopkins University data. The country has reported 13,254 deaths so far.

India has the fourth-highest caseload in the world, after the US, Brazil and Russia.

It's been two weeks since the country eased out of its lockdown, and cases have only been rising. Some experts estimate that the virus will peak in the monsoon season, which is between July and September.

But in cities like Delhi and Mumbai, the impact of rising cases have stretched an already fragmented healthcare system.

Reports of scarce hospital beds - and patients being turned away - have been making the rounds for weeks, prompting outrage and concern.
