Covid third wave claims the lives of 193 persons in Himachal
Of the total 193 deaths that occurred during a span of 47 days, 67 persons who died due to Covid hadn't taken any dose of vaccine.
Senior Scientist, IIT Kanpur, Prof Manindra Aggarwal has claimed that the possibility of a third wave of corona infection is now negligible. Releasing his new study based on his mathematical ‘model formula’, he has said that vaccination has further reduced this risk.
“The vaccination has ensured the reduction in the infection to a great extent. He said that states like UP, Bihar, Delhi are on the way to become almost infection-free. However, the active cases in the country will remain close to 15,000 till the month of October as there will be an infection in the Northeastern states and also Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala,” he told reporters.
Despite repeated calls by health experts, a report by a panel formed by the Union Health Ministry has exposed the acute lacunae in the preparation for the third wave. The report by the experts of the National Institute of Disaster Management says that across India, the level of preparation is abysmally low.
