Asia Today: Lesser Covid-19 issues but India's capital New Delhi is fighting a new surge in cases

Thousands of students and professionals who worked for IT companies and lived in the area have moved back to their native places to work remotely. Even as much of the Indian economy has reopened, Bengaluru’s professional workforce is returning to work at a much slower pace than those in most other major cities, raising the risk that the city faces a more protracted recovery. - AP

India’s confirmed cases -- currently the second largest in the world behind the United States - have exceeded 8.4 million.
