Corona Latest Updates (PC: Newstrack)

New Delhi: The cases of coronavirus and the new variant omicron in India are increasing at a double-triple rate every day. More than 13,000 cases of covid 19 have been reported in the past day. These cases are 44% more than the figures from a day earlier. As fast as the cases of infection are increasing, the third wave is already knocking at the door.

The cases of Omicron, the new variant of corona, are increasing rapidly around the world. On this, WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan said that many factors are responsible for the effectiveness of the vaccine. One is the vaccine, the other is biological factors like age. Swaminathan emphasized that the Omicron variant is increasing rapidly across the world.

WHO on Omicron:

Swaminathan further said, it is infecting both the people who took the vaccine and those who did not. However, she also said that vaccines seem to be still proving effective because even though the numbers are increasing rapidly in many countries, the severity of the disease has not reached new levels.


Simultaneously, Swaminathan heaved a sigh of relief that most people are recovering with mild treatment. She said that it appears that the vaccines are proving to be protective. The need for critical care is not increasing. This is a good sign. Swaminathan said in a tweet on Wednesday that T cell immunity improves against Omicron as expected. It saves us from serious disease. If you haven't vaccinated yet, please get vaccinated soon.

Corona vaccine for everyone:

Swaminathan said at a WHO press briefing on Wednesday that the effectiveness of the vaccine varies slightly between vaccines, although most of the vaccines on the WHO's All-Emergency Use List actually have high rates of protection and the vaccine is at least a delta variant-like severe disease. Saves from death.

In view of the increasing cases of the new Omicron variant of the corona virus, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist of the World Health Organization has called for expanding and strengthening the covid-19 vaccination all over the world.
