A new sub-variant of the Covid strain Omicron has been detected in a study of genome sequencing in the capital city.
August 10, 2022Given the quickly changing scene of the pandemic worldwide, experts say that the best protection against high-risk individuals is the one at hand.
July 30, 2022The study by 'bioRxiv', an open-access preprint repository for the biological sciences, shared on Tuesday that its study shows that administration of Covaxin booster dose will enhance the vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant infection and give protection against the Omicron variants BA.1.1 and BA.2.
June 15, 2022Meanwhile, Covid-19 cases have resumed their upward trend, surpassing the 200-mark for the first time since mid-March this week.
May 7, 2022"Our analysis suggests that the intrinsic severity of the Omicron variant may be as severe as previous variants," the researchers claimed in the pre-print study, meaning not yet peer-reviewed.
May 6, 2022A team of researchers from Universities of Colorado and Northwestern in the US, examined 18,849 children hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2.
April 18, 2022The department said that it was expecting the fifth wave of the pandemic by the end of May.
April 14, 2022West Australia recorded 6,062 new cases on Wednesday, the first time for the state's daily cases to top 6,000.
March 16, 2022According to the study, PCR tests carried out on approximately two million Danes affected primarily by Omicron's sub-types BA.1 and BA.2 revealed that "67 cases in which the same individual had become infected twice at a 20-60-day interval where both infections were due to Omicron sub-types".
February 23, 2022A total of 12,65,843 patients have recovered from the disease so far, including 1,272 in the past 24 hours.
February 19, 2022The State’s share is 3.41% in the country’s confirmed virus caseload while the active cases are 0.86% of India’s total active cases.
February 11, 2022The team focused their analysis on the receptor binding domain (RBD), which is the part of the spike protein targeted by antibodies.
February 2, 2022According to a study led by researchers at the University of Hong Kong, Omicron spreads 70 times faster than Delta variant.
January 31, 2022According to the Daily Mail, King's College London scientists estimate 160,000 people were falling ill with Covid every day in the week ending January 26, compared to 145,000 in its previous report.
January 30, 2022The State had last reported Omicron variant cases on 19 January with the ILS providing diagnostic reports of 145 new variant cases to the State health department.
January 28, 2022This emphasises the need for an Omicron-specific vaccine strategy, said the study.
January 26, 2022Moreover, the next variant of Covid may also evade vaccine protections even more, making the existing vaccines even less effective.
