25 Indians dead abroad

NEW DELHI: A total of 3,336 Indians tested positive for coronavirus in 53 countries while 25 others died of the infection, government sources said on Thursday. They said Indians stranded abroad will have to be patient as the government is not evacuating them as part of a policy decision to check the spread of coronavirus in the country.
“They need to be patient and stay where they are. Our missions have been told to extend all possible help to them,” said a source. According to the sources, evacuation of around 35,000 foreign nationals from 48 countries has been facilitated so far. Majority of Indians who have tested positive are living in the Gulf region. (PTI)
