    NEW DELHI — India reported another record surge of coronavirus infections on


    Monday, adding 28,701 new cases over the previous 24 hours.
    Authorities in several cities are reinstating strict lockdowns after attempting to
    loosen things up to revive an ailing economy.
    The new cases raised the national total to 878,254. The Health Ministry also
    reported another 500 deaths in the past 24 hours, taking total fatalities up to
    23,174.
    New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Pune are among the key Indian
    cities witnessing a surge in infections. Several states introduced weekend
    curfews and announced strict lockdowns in high-risk areas to slow down
    infections.
    India is third in total coronavirus caseload, behind only the United States and
    Brazil.

    HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
    MEXICO CITY -- Mexican officials say the number of confirmed COVID-19
    deaths has passed 35,000, making it the country with the fourth highest total.
    A count by Johns Hopkins University has only the United States, Brazil and
    Britain with more confirmed deaths from the new coronavirus. Sunday’s rise to
    35,006 confirmed deaths moved Mexico, a country with 130 million inhabitants,
    past Italy.
    President Andrés Manuel López Obrador insisted the development of the
    pandemic in Mexico “is positive, it is good” because of the country’s 32 states
    only nine had increases in infections.
    “The bottom line is that the pandemic is on the downside, that it is losing
    intensity,” Mexico’s president said.
    Nevertheless, some days this past week have seen record daily numbers of new
    infections.
    Deputy Health Secretary Hugo López-Gatell said the number of confirmed cases
    of the new coronavirus rose to 299,750 on Sunday.

    MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia’s worst-hit Victoria state recorded only 177
    new coronavirus cases on Monday, but a health official is warning the disease’s
    spread might yet worsen.
    The new cases were substantially down from 273 cases on Sunday and a record
    288 on Friday.
    Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said it was too early to say whether
    the lower count meant the spread was being contained.
    “It’s great it’s lower than our peak. But it may not be our peak yet,” Sutton said.
    “So I would like to see a week of decreasing numbers before I come and say I
    have greater confidence about the direction we’re going in.”
    Melbourne, Australia’s second-most popular city, and a part of its surrounds in
    Victoria returned to lockdown last week in a bid to contain the disease spread.
    Australia has recorded around 10,000 COVID-19 cases and 108 deaths.

    LOS ANGELES -- A heat wave has brought crowds to California’s beaches,
    where people mostly heeded warnings to keep a safe distance from each other
    as the state grappled with a spike in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations.
    Lifeguard Chief Jason Young said Sunday that people are spread out on Orange
    County beaches. Temperatures soared into the 90s in many areas from San
    Diego north to the San Francisco Bay Area.
    The statewide death toll increased by 71 to hit 7,107. There are more than
    320,800 positive cases statewide. Meanwhile, two more inmates from San
    Quentin State Prison have died.

    HOUSTON, Texas — Top officials in Houston are calling for the city to lock back
    down as area hospitals strain to accommodate the onslaught of patients sick with
    the new coronavirus.
    Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, both
    Democrats, said this weekend that a stay-at-home order is needed for America’s
    fourth-largest city to cope with the surge of COVID-19 cases.
    The call comes after a week in which Texas continued to break records for
    confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths linked to the disease. State health
    officials reported 8,196 new cases Sunday, another 80 deaths and a total of
    10,410 people hospitalized due to the virus.
    The decision over a lockdown, however, rests with Republican Gov. Greg Abbott
    — who has resisted this step, saying it should be a last resort.
