The total number of novel coronavirus or COVID-19 cases in India are now near 650 with at least 13 dead, including the latest deaths reported in Gujarat and in Jammu and Kashmir.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday announced a Rs 50 lakh insurance cover for healthcare workers who are at the forefront of dealing with coronavirus pandemic. This includes doctors, paramedic and healthcare workers, she said.
