Pfizer sought permission to vaccinate 12- to 15-year-olds in the US against the corona

The death toll in the US will be 6,18,000 by August

In Brazil, 93,000 new cases, 3693 deaths, a total of 13.55 million cases worldwide, 29.32 million deaths

WASHINGTON: More than 93,000 new cases of corona have been reported in the last 24 hours since the outbreak of the corona epidemic in Brazil, bringing the total number of corona deaths to 3,48,934, with 3,693 deaths.

The average death toll in the last seven days has risen to 2,930, the highest in the world, as corona infections continue to rise in 19 states in Brazil. Yet restrictions are being relaxed in the two states of Sao Paulo and Grand Sol.

Meanwhile, a study published in the Lancet Journal found that the second wave caused 30 percent more infections in Africa than the first wave. According to the study, an average of 18,273 cases were reported daily during the first wave in mid-July, rising to 23,790 during the second wave in December.

If 90 million doses of the corona vaccine are provided by the Covax program in the first six months of this year, only three percent of the African continent's population will be vaccinated. All Americans in the USA will be vaccinated against this by May 1.

However, the rapid spread of the B1.1.7 virus variant in the USA has led to the death of 6,18,523 corona by August 1, according to the Washington University's Institute for Health.

Based on a model by matrices. As of April 1, the death toll had risen to 609,000. If people do not follow the rules, the figure could rise to 6,97,573. More than 90,000 deaths could be prevented if 95 percent of the American population wears a mask.

Meanwhile, US regulators have approached the FDA to allow Pfizer-Bioentech to give their corona vaccine to 12- to 15-year-olds in an emergency. People aged 16 and over were allowed to be vaccinated against corona in December.

Meanwhile, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have appealed to all countries for the timely delivery of safe and effective corona vaccine. The ministerial committee said the effects of the Corona epidemic would be felt for years to come.

Meanwhile, the total number of cases registered in the world today was 135,564,933 with 2,74,809 new cases of corona. The Corona death toll rose to 29,32,752 from 5,002 today.

Difficulties in many countries due to declining exports of corona vaccine from India

New Delhi, Dt

As the number of corona cases in India has increased, the government has reduced exports of corona vaccine, causing unrest in many countries. Many countries, including Nepal, Iran and Mexico, have urged India not to impose a complete ban on corona vaccine exports.

Corona vaccines sent by Indian companies have given the first dose in many countries but now they are facing a shortage of vaccines in the second dose.

According to sources, very few vaccines have been exported in the last fortnight. While companies have signed agreements to supply vaccines to dozens of countries. Bharat Biotech told the External Affairs Ministry that if it did not send the vaccine to other countries, including Iran, for a second dose, the first dose would also be in vain.
