Figures by the World Health Organisation, however, have put the number of cases at 267,013 with over 10,000 deaths. In India, the cases have mounted to 341, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Shane Warne's company, 'SevenZeroEight Gin' had also stopped producing Gin and instead, started producing ‘medical grade 70 % alcohol’ hand sanitizer for two Western Australian hospitals.
