Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that the number of coronavirus tests carried out there has doubled to 40,000 per day, as the Indian capital recorded more than 1,500 new cases on Tuesday - its highest total this month so far.

However, Kejriwal said the situation was "fully under control".

Nationally, India recorded more than 67,000 new cases in the past 24 hours, bringing its total number of confirmed cases up to more than 3.2 million.

India has the third-highest number of cases, after the US and Brazil. However, its total death toll - 59,449 - is much lower than these two countries.
