Lockdown, Day 27: Infy baffled, Manipur clean

Despite 36 deaths being reported in the last 24 hours, the government had some positive data to share — the rate of doubling of cases has dropped to 7.5 days from the pre-lockdown level of 3.4 days.

Another good news since our last update - Manipur is now the second state after Goa to rid itself of the virus, at least for now.

On the business front, Infosys reported a 6% rise in profit (YoY)- to Rs 4,321 crore. The IT major also suspended guidance on revenues and margins for FY21.
