The number of corona cases in the country has crossed 50,000 again. The possibility of vaccinating children in July-August

Vaccine trials for 12 to 18 year olds completed

Corona Delta Plus variant dangerous, third wave likely if not stopped: WHO warns

New Delhi: As many as 50,040 new cases of corona have been reported in India in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases to 3,02,33,183, with 1,258 more deaths due to corona and a total death toll of over 3.95 lakh.

Active cases have also come down to 5.86 lakh. Meanwhile, vaccination of 12 to 18 year olds is also likely to start in July-August. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has issued a warning about a new variant of the corona virus, Delta Plus. And said that this variant is more dangerous than just taking the corona vaccine.

Melita Vujnovic, Russia's representative to the WHO, said that in the Delta variant, vaccines alone are not enough, so wearing a mask with the vaccine is just as important. If this variant is not controlled as soon as possible, the third wave will not come. Vaccination of children will also start from next month.

The trial of the vaccine vaccine company Zydus Cadila is almost complete and it will start delivering in the next few months. The vaccine can be given to children between the ages of 12 and 18 in late July or August. Currently, only those over 18 years of age are vaccinated in the country. Giving to more than 12 years can now be started.

The central government has told the Supreme Court that India has the capacity to store the corona vaccine as low as it needs to be stored. The head of the AIIMS, Dr. Randeep Guleria said that if children are vaccinated, it will help in opening schools as soon as possible. While the Serum Institute claims to have prepared more than 100 million doses of the Covishield vaccine.
