In India, where the coronavirus is spreading faster than anywhere else in the world, a record economic decline has been recorded in the history of statistical observations.
According to the National Statistics Office of India, in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2020-2021, which ended in June, the country's economy shrank by 23.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year.
This is the lowest figure since the government began publishing quarterly gross domestic product data in 1996.
