How does India's current COVID
infection rate compared with other countries?
The steady decline in daily numbers of new coronavirus strains has resulted in the country’s effective cases dropping to less than nine lakhs now. In mid-September, there were more than 10.17 lakh active cases. About 20 percent of the reduction in active cases could be caused by the nearly 23,000 deaths that occurred during this time. Where an 80% release is the result of a fall in the number of new cases available daily, it is less than the acquisition value. For example, there were only 70,000 new acquisitions, while more than 78,000 people were announced to have received them.
The
main contributor to low census was Kerala, where the number dropped abruptly to
almost the previous day. An alone, Kerala dropped 10,000 cases in one day for
the first time. For the first time in almost three weeks,
Kerala received more than 7,000 new treatments. Meanwhile, the East Godavari
district of Andhra Pradesh has become the first non-metro city, which is not
the primary side to close more than one case. But as in the rest of the state,
the number of new cases has been steadily declining in Eastern Godavari.
It
now reports less than 1,000 cases a day recently, the number has dropped to
652, the lowest since July last week. Thane city has become the fifth city to
record more than two lakh cases of coronavirus. The other four are Pune,
Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Delhi skipped lakh markings on Thursday, with only
Pune having more charges. To date, more than 69 lakh people in the country are
infected, more than 59 lakh.
Covid-positive
mothers & babies
A
new study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that transmission of SARS-CoV-2
from Covid positive mothers to children is rare, if followed by basic infection
control measures. The findings suggest that broader measures may not be allowed,
such as separating Covid mothers with their newborn babies and avoiding
breastfeeding. The study covered 101 babies was born to Covid-19 mothers who
had two hospitals in New York from. Most of the babies housed with their
mothers, who were encouraged to breastfeed but wore masks and washed hands and
breasts with soap and water. Only two newborns tested positive for SARS-CoV-2
but had no evidence of illness.
EU
signs deal for 400 million doses of Johnson& Johnson vaccine
The
European Commission, the governing body of the European Union, has entered into
an agreement with Johnson & Johnson regarding the acquisition of $ 400
million worth of coronavirus Drug Company. Millions are skipped when the tree
is ready, perhaps early next year. The agreement has the potential to provide
an additional 200 million open volumes, if necessary. This is the third
agreement reached by the European Commission. He previously signed similar
contracts with Astra Zeneca, which produces the policy in partnership with
Oxford University, and Sanofi-GSK. Those agreements are for 300 million units
each.
A
recent agreement with Johnson & Johnson states that the European Union has
now placed at least $ 800 million on top drug-related orders. The United States
has also approved a $ 800 million volume acquisition, signing agreements with
six developers. The United Kingdom has signed six new agreements, and it has
booked a total of 350 million copies. Advance bookings with many developers are
designed to protect countries safely from one or more of these vaccines to
obtain regulatory approval.
Pre-orders
guarantee that these countries will receive the first feed, and when
vaccinations begin to be made after approval, so as not to be affected by
potential shortages in the first few months after vaccination. The European
Commission said it had concluded negotiations with three other vaccine
developers - Moderna, Pfizer / BioNTech and CureVac.
