Herd immunity against Covid-19 still far away says Health Minister

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said that the ICMR’s second Sero survey showed that herd immunity against COVID-19 is still far away in India’s population. In such a situation, all of us should keep following the appropriate behavior related to Covid. The Union Health Minister also said that the ICMR is increasingly testing and conducting research on people who have been re-infected with Covid-19. Although the cases of reinfection that have come up till now are very few, but the government is giving full importance to the case.

The Union Minister also said that remdesivir and plasma therapies should not be promoted. The government has issued regular advice regarding their rational use. Private hospitals have also been advised against the regular use of these investigational therapies.
