India has surpassed the grim milestone of more than 200,000 deaths caused by the Covid-19 disease as a devastating second wave of infections overwhelms the South Asian nation’s under-funded healthcare system.

The World Health Organization says a variant of Covid-19 feared to be contributing to a surge in coronavirus cases in India has been found in at least 17 countries.
