In the meantime, the Omicron sub-variant BA.4 and BA.5 were found among three patients having Covid infection in Mumbai in the latest round of genome sequencing conducted at the Kasturba Gandhi Hospital in the city. The patients were identified from samples that were taken between May 14, 2022, and May 24, 2022.
In a related development, India’s first indigenous mRNA COVID-19 vaccine that was developed at Pune’s Gennova Biopharmaceuticals, may become a game-changer as it can be stored at temperatures between 2 and 8 degrees celsius, according to Dr N K Arora, who is the head of COVID-19 working group of the National Technical Advisory Group of Immunisation (NTAGI). Speaking to The Indian Express he said, “The Phase III trial has been completed with the necessary follow-up and the interim data has been presented to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation.”
Last week, India recorded nearly 50,000 Covid-19 cases. This was the biggest jump in the number of daily cases since January 2022. The overall statistics of daily infections across states have led state governments to take tough measures to avoid another deadly Covid wave.
