Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh on Friday went past the grim mark of four lakh COVID-19 cases as over 10,000 were added afresh for the third straight day.
The number of people cured of the infection increased to over three lakh, the latest government bulletin said. It took just 10 days, the shortest span so far, for the number of coronavirus cases to swell from three to four lakh in the state.
Going by the pace at which new cases are being added, AP is expected to climb to the second spot, behind Maharashtra, in the overall national tally, surpassing neighbouring Tamil Nadu, which had crossed the four lakh mark on Thursday, in a day or two.
