On Wednesday, India reported around 385 positive cases of Covid-19, by far the highest spike recorded in a single day. An annual convention of the Tablighi Jamaat, which was held at Nizamuddin Markaaz in Delhi in mid-March, has added to the recent spike in positive cases in the country. The congregation was attended by followers from abroad and India.

Meanwhile, the state governments continued their efforts to trace the people who attended the event in Delhi and later moved to different parts of the country. The Mumbai Police had identified 40 people till Wednesday out of the 150 members of the Tablighi Jamaat who returned to the city from the Markaz Nizamuddin congregation and sent them into self-quarantine. Some of these came forward with the help of community leaders and self-quarantined themselves. A massive manhunt is on to identify all the members who attended the event in Delhi.
