NEW DELHI: Hundreds of millions of people in India, including in its two largest cities, were ordered on Wednesday (Apr 8) to wear face masks or coverings amid a nationwide lockdown to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents in the capital New Delhi and financial hub Mumbai, which have a combined population of almost 40 million, as well as in the most-populous state Uttar Pradash where 200 million live, will have to cover their faces in public spaces.
