Amid growing COVID instances in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is having a video conference meeting with Chief Ministers to examine the health condition throughout the country.

The meeting also included Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, and officials from their respective ministries, in addition to the Prime Minister and top officials from the Prime Minister’s Office. According to reports, Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan will make a presentation on the current condition of COVID, the scope of immunisation, particularly the booster push, and the trajectory of cases in certain states.

PM Modi has already met with Chief Ministers and even District Magistrates to better grasp the reality on the ground.

In the previous 24 hours, India registered 2,483 new COVID-19 cases. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare bulletin, the active caseload is 15,636, with a positive rate of 0.55 percent.

On Sunday’s Mann Ki Baat radio programme, Prime Minister Modi encouraged people to be on the lookout for COVID-19 throughout the festive season. To keep COVID at bay, he also urged them to wear masks and wash their hands at frequent intervals.

The number of new COVID-19 infections in India has been steadily increasing, with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare reporting 2,927 new cases in the previous 24 hours.

India detected 2,483 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday. The number of active cases has also climbed from 15,636 to 16,279. The number of active cases represents 0.04 percent of the overall number of cases.

In the previous 24 hours, 2,252 COVID patients recovered, bringing the total number of recoveries since the pandemic’s inception to 4,25,25,563. The rate of recovery is 98.75%.

According to the Ministry, 32 people died as a result of the infection in the previous 24 hours. The death toll in the country as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic has now reached 5,23,654.

The daily case positive rate increased from 0.55 percent on Tuesday to 0.58 percent today (on Wednesday). The weekly positive rate is at 0.59.

In the previous 24 hours, 5,05,065 COVID samples were examined. So far, 83.59 crore tests have been performed across the country.

In terms of immunisation, 21,97,082 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were delivered over this time period. With this, the total number of vaccines provided as part of the countrywide immunisation campaign has risen to 1,88,19,40,971.

Dr T Jacob John, an eminent virologist and former Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore professor, stated on Tuesday that the likelihood of a fourth COVID-19 wave in India is “very low.”

When questioned why certain states are reporting a rise in COVID-19 cases, the virologist stated that while Delhi and Haryana experienced slight increases in COVID numbers in the last two to three weeks, the increase was not maintained. To his knowledge, no state was reporting an increase in COVID-19 cases.

To the best of my knowledge, no state has reported an increase in COVID-19 instances. So far in March and April, India has maintained “low and generally consistent levels,” Dr. John said.

Delhi and Haryana have seen slight gains in the previous two to three weeks, but the trend is not sustainable. In Delhi, one thousand instances equates to only five per lakh people. During the “endemic” period, which applies to India and all states, we should not expect a constant reduction in the population. “Continuous falls are impossible to achieve since the terminus of such a graph is zero,” he noted.

The virologist stated once more that the likelihood of a fourth wave is exceedingly low.

If a fourth wave appears, it will come as a complete surprise to me. As a result, I can’t make any educated guesses regarding it.

The likelihood of a fourth wave is quite remote. Our best defence against the negative impacts of a wave is widespread immunisation. A complete vaccination consists of two doses plus a prophylactic dose at least six months afterwards. According to Dr. John, the official interpretation of two doses as a complete immunisation is unscientific.

Currently, population-based immunisation coverage is 75% for one dose and 65% for two doses.

When asked what should be done to contain the outbreak, the virologist stated, “The number one fault is not using the mask.” I’m concerned that specialists and policymakers haven’t taught people the importance of wearing a mask when dealing with others.

When asked if schools would be closed since students in numerous states tested positive for COVID-19,

No, not at all. Schools should be kept open. “During the “endemic phase,” which is our present and future, we will encounter an occasional instance that must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis,” Dr. John said.

So, is there a new coronavirus variant? The virologist replied negatively to this.

“There have been ups and downs everywhere there have been ups. The rises are not sustained in any way. As a result, I don’t believe a new variation is involved. However, variation screening must be maintained in order for the virus not to surprise us again “He took notice.

According to preliminary statistics received by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Tuesday, the country’s cumulative vaccination coverage has surpassed 187.95 crore (1,87,95,76,423) through 2,30,89,167 sessions.
