Health officials in India report more than 18 million cases of the virus and over 200,000 deaths. The country has repeatedly set and broken daily records for infections and deaths this week. Experts believe the figures are an undercount of the true totals.
The first plane carrying aid from the U.S. arrived in India on Friday. Another plane carrying equipment like masks and test kits is expected to leave the U.S. on Friday.

The U.S. currently requires international travelers to provide a negative COVID-19 test and quarantine.
