Bodies, many of which are believed to be COVID-19 victims, are seen partially exposed in shallow sand graves as rainwater inundated the site and caused the soil to be washed away at a cremation ground on the banks of the Ganges River on June 28, 2021 in Phaphamau, near Prayagraj (also known as Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, India. India has seen a steady fall in its COVID-19 infection numbers in June. Many states and cities have made steps towards re-opening fully, though the number of people vaccinated as a share of the overall population remains low and experts raise concerns that re-opening too quickly could once again risk recent gains made in fighting the coronavirus. India also successfully vaccinated up to 8 million people a day in the last week, as the government picks up the pace and announced plans to vaccinate all adults by the end of the year.
