PM Modi to hold meeting today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a meeting on the situation of Corona on Thursday, amidst the increasing cases of the new variant of Corona in India, Omicron. According to the news coming in the media quoting official sources, Prime Minister Modi will review the situation of the epidemic across the country. According to the data released by the Union Health Ministry, so far 287 cases of coronavirus infection have been registered in 17 states and union territories in India. Meanwhile, there is also a demand that the government allow booster doses of vaccines to those who have been vaccinated, as has been done by many countries.
At the same time, amid the increase in Omicron cases in the country, Dr Randeep Guleria, Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), while emphasizing on following the corona protocol, said that people are lax in following these norms. He said the latest data shows that the vaccines are effective and provide protection against serious disease and reduce the risk of death.
People should should not miss the second dose
Dr Guleria said that those who are eligible for vaccination should take the dose immediately and those who have received the first dose should not miss the second dose. He said that Omicron is highly contagious. Therefore it is very important to follow the corona protocol. People should wear masks regularly, maintain proper distance and avoid such gatherings, which are likely to spread the infection on a large scale.
