Strains in hard-hit Mumbai complicate India's virus recovery The coronavirus outbreak in India's hardest-hit state is starting to overwhelm hospitals, prisons and slums, just as the government is planning the country's economic recoveryIn this May 11, 2020 photo, migrant workers from other states trying to return to their homes wait for transportation to a train station at a slum in Mumbai, India.

India’s lockdown, imposed March 25, is set to at least partially end May 18.
