Can't predict Covid 3rd wave: Govt
June 28, 2021 17:32
COVID Task Force chief V K Paul's presser:
-- It will not be fair to put a date for any COVID wave as virus behaviour is unpredictable. (Read what IIT Kanpur, which predicted Covid 2nd wave, says on the 3rd wave).
-- Process for getting World Health Organisation's emergency use approval for Covaxin proceeding very well; hope decision comes soon.
-- Govt discussing ways to approve Pfizer, Moderna's COVID vaccines for inoculation in India at the earliest.
-- No scientific data so far to establish Delta plus variant of coronavirus adversely impacts vaccine efficacy.
