Coordination Call on India COVID Crisis: How Businesses Can Help

India is facing a dire healthcare crisis from a rapid rise in COVID cases over the last six weeks. Every day brings new highs for daily confirmed cases. On Thursday, April 29, India reported 379,257 new cases and 3,645 new deaths, the highest number of deaths in a single day since the start of the pandemic. These numbers have overwhelmed the healthcare system, especially in the capital of New Delhi and other major cities such as Mumbai. To address this challenge, India needs immediate assistance responding to the current crisis, as well as longer-term support to arrest transmission rates. Join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the U.S.-India Business Council for a humanitarian assistance coordination call at 1:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 27, to hear from senior government officials and experts on how the private sector can support relief efforts.
