GENEVA/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The
United States could become the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday, as
India announced a full 24-hour, nationwide lockdown in the world's second-most populous country.
India joined the ranks of
Britain and other countries clamping down to hold back the virus as business activity collapsed from
Japan to the United States at a record pace in March.
The highly contagious coronavirus has caused entire regions to be placed on lockdown.
