The total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in India ticked to 492 with nine fatalities reported so far, but health experts have warned that a big jump could be imminent, which would overwhelm the underfunded and crumbling public health infrastructure.

A lockdown has been imposed in 30 states to break the coronavirus chain in India. Since Monday, scores of people have been booked for violating lockdown norms and ignoring warnings.

Operations of all domestic airlines have been ceased with effect from the midnight of March 24. This is applicable to domestic and scheduled commercial airlines. The restrictions however shall not apply to cargo flights, the Government has said on Monday.
