vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Aid from France reached India on Sunday, including eight oxygen generator plants and 28 ventilators, adding to the 120 ventilators from Germany that arrived a day earlier.<\/p>\n<p>New Delhi, one of the hardest hit parts of the country, extended its lockdown by a week on Saturday, and the eastern state of Odisha has also ordered a shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Fauci, the top US pandemic advisor, said in comments published Saturday that the whole of India should go into lockdown to fight this wave.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s government has resisted imposing a national shutdown but many states have imposed heavy restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>A growing list of countries have cut flights from India, with Nigeria on Sunday banning entry to all travellers who have been in the country in the last two weeks, though Nigerians and those transiting in India will be exempt.<\/p>\n<p>Alarm bells are also ringing in other countries in densely populated South Asia.<\/p>\n<p>In Sri Lanka daily infections hit a record on Saturday, with authorities imposing further curbs on movement and activities in parts of the island nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could face an India-type crisis very soon unless we arrest the current trend of infections,\u201d said chief epidemiologist Sudath Samaraweera.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2013 \u2018We\u2019re tired and exhausted\u2019 \u2013<\/h2>\n<p>Known global infections are approaching 152 million, and fresh waves have also shaken many countries in the Americas.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil, the worst-hit Latin American nation, has crossed 400,000 COVID-19 deaths \u2014 second only to the United States \u2014 with many of its hospitals pushed to the brink of collapse.<\/p>\n<p>And in Canada, the epicentre is in the most populous province Ontario, where the surge has been so intense that the government sent in the military and the Red Cross to help care for critical patients.<\/p>\n<p>Ontario\u2019s healthcare system is near breaking point, said intensive care nurse Farial Faquiry at Toronto\u2019s Humber River Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re stretched thin,\u201d Faquiry told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Many health professionals and caregivers are also frustrated with citizens who have not followed precautions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we all feel we have been let down a little bit by society,\u201d said physician Jamie Spiegelman.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s vaccine rollout has also stumbled because of supply issues, unlike its southern neighbour the United States which has given at least one dose to more than half its adult population.<\/p>\n<p>But concerns are growing there too about the inoculation programme hitting a wall \u2014 the people most eager to get their shots have already done so.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2013 Protests against restrictions \u2013<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the COVID-19 threat in sharp focus because of the outbreaks in Brazil and India, populations in many parts of the world are growing weary of virus measures.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-restriction protesters gathered in several European countries on Saturday, including Finland, Sweden, Belgium and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Many protesters are worried about the effect of curbs on the economy, with the tourism and hospitality industries particularly hard hit.<\/p>\n<p>Several countries have tried to jumpstart battered tourism sectors by setting up travel bubbles with other locations that are relatively COVID-free. But keeping them alive as virus cases re-emerge has proved a challenge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2710888426\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More international aid arrived in India on Sunday as the daily COVID-19 death toll reached a new record in the South Asian nation.
