Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, more than 70,000 people have been
recovering per day and the recoveries are 6.3 times higher than the total
active cases. The ministry has said that the country has seen a decent rise in
number of recoveries in October when compared to the last few months. September
had been the deadliest month in India in number of new infections and deaths
per day and at one time, the country had reported more than 90,000 new cases
and the deaths continued to stay above 1,000 for long periods. The Indian
government has had been testing more than one million people daily though the
country has had seen a dip in testing occasionally. Health experts continue to
insist that consistent wide-spread testing and contract tracing are significant
in containing the virus.
Government officials said that India can see the
administration of a coronavirus vaccine by mid-2021. The public remain cautiously
optimistic towards the slight dipping figures and hold their hopes on a
successful vaccine to come out soon before we lose more lives to the moronic
pandemic. As the largest vaccine manufacturer in India, the country can distribute
and administer the vaccine permitting the vaccine successfully goes through the
regulatory bodies approval. According to the health officials, people older
than 40 years and people with chronic illnesses like blood sugar, blood
pressure and heart complications are highly susceptible to the coronavirus but
the statistics has shown that young adults below 30 years are also susceptible
of contacting the virus.
