New Delhi has been hit particularly hard as estimates reckon roughly 80,000 hospital beds will be needed by the end of July.
The Indian media reports that many people are dying because they are unable to access healthcare in time.
Official records currently count over a thousand new infections every day, with over 300,000 confirmed cases and a death toll of about 9,000.
Experts however doubt these figures and suspect a much higher infection and death rate.
