Amid concern over an increase in the 'R' factor, or reproduction rate, of the coronavirus in some states and Union Territories, the Home Ministry today issued an advisory urging governments to ensure members of the public follow COVID-19 protocols.

The increase in coronavirus cases in India - 131,750 over the past 72 hours - has been underlined by a worrying spike in the 'R', or 'reproduction rate', of the virus, which jumped to 1.32 on Monday - the highest since April last year
