At least 26,000 Indians will land in India's financial capital, Mumbai, from coronavirus-hit countries in the Gulf between 19 and 31 March.

Most of the people work in countries like the UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar and had requested the government to evacuate them.

The Times of India quotes the city's civic authorities as saying that large quarantine facilities are being prepared for the people who would arrive in batches.

India has reported at least 168 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection.

From Current link above:

“Extraordinary times require extraordinary action,” said ECB chief Christine Lagarde, and markets in Europe in Milan and Paris recovered some ground on Thursday morning.

Russia has recorded its first official death, Belgium has announced another seven and Denmark has recorded two more, bringing its total number to six. 

Italy is likely to to overtake China’s official fatality number of 3,245 in the pandemic on Thursday. On Wednesday night, a column of some 30 military vehicles could be seen in the centre of Bergamo moving around 70 coffins to crematoria outside the city as the local cemetery could no longer manage, Ansa news agency reports.

It's mind boggling that Italy will overtake China considering the billion, give or take more people in China than Italy.

India may be about to discover "tens of thousands" more COVID-19 cases

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/india-may-be-about-to-discover-tens-of-thousands-more-covid-19-cases/ar-BB11qn0g?ocid=spartandhp

Here is about a 1/4 of piece - please go to link for rest...

New Delhi — India's government is facing criticism for the relatively low number of tests it's administered to detect cases of the new coronavirus, raising fears that tens of thousands of patients may be going undetected. India has tested only about 12,000 people so far, despite a capacity to test about ten times that many. 

Only people who have traveled from the worst affected countries or come in contact with a confirmed case and shown symptoms after two weeks of quarantine are being tested — criteria that experts call "very narrow." 

The World Health Organization has urged countries to test every suspect case, not just people with relevant travel or contact history. 

But many Indians with symptoms indicative of a possible COVID-19 infection, have been turned away from hospitals as they seek tests, and that is causing increasing fear in the world's second most populous country.
