Corona virus case in india: In India, cases related to JN.1 variants of Kovid-19 are being seen once again. Cases of Kovid infections in India, especially in Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, have come up rapidly. According to experts, it is a disease that comes back again after a long gap. In this case, as new variants are revealed, the infection starts coming out again. There were two deaths in Mumbai recently due to Kovid 19. In this regard, Dr. Rajeev Jai Devan, who was the co-chairman of the National IMA Kovid Task Force, said about the current situation of Kovid 19 that the Korona virus or Sars Kov2 virus was not actually over.
Dr. Rajiv Jai Devan further said that Kovid disease will continue to come back with long intervals with the changes in the middle, which means that it can spread at a fast pace for several months. Because of this, you can see an increase in the number of cases. It is being seen in most Asian countries. During this period, cases have increased in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and India in the last few weeks, but from the point of view of India, a large number of people go to doctors every day with fever. Because of this, cases like Corona can be seen.
Experts’ opinion about Kovid Booster
Dr. Sandeep Budhiraja, an expert of Max Healthcare on the Corona virus, says that the situation in India is still under control, but the JN.1 variant is an indication that Kovid-19 is not completely over. Budhiraja further says that genomic surveillance is necessary to track new variants. It will help update the vaccine and how to treat. At the same time, Dr. Simon Grant says that in view of the new variant of the current Kovid, it may be necessary to take booster dose in some cases. However, he also said that the effect of vaccine may be reduced over time. The booster dosage restores security. The elderly have been advised to take a booster dose. Apart from this, people with weak immunity, health workers and already sick people can take boosters. Special vaccines are not available for JN.1, but normal covid boosters also provide quite protection.
