Half of Covid’s deaths in India are 60 years old: Ministry of Health data

The mortality of others in productive age teams in India appears to be much higher than in other geographical areas, according to the knowledge presented Tuesday through the Ministry of Health.

So far, nearly 39,000 other people have died from Covid-19 in the country.

While 2% of Covid-19-related deaths occurred in under-25 teams, nearly 48% of deaths occurred in two primary productive age teams: 26-44 (11%) 45-60 (37%) Array according to knowledge presented through Secretary of Health Rajesh Bhushan at a press conference here.

This is much more consistent with reported mortality in productive age teams in peak primary economies. By comparison, less than 10, in line with the death rate, occurred in age groups under the age of 54 in the United States, including the pandemic in the United States.

According to Bhushan, men accounted for approximately 68% of India’s total Covid-19 deaths “generally in line with global trends.”

The Director-General of the Medical Research Council of India (ICMR), Balram Bhargava, who also participated in the briefing, said that between 2 and 30% of Covid-19 daily tests are currently conducted, immediate antigenic tests are conducted. Initially, the consistent percentage of immediate antigenic tests was only 5 to 6%. Now it’s grown from 2 to 5 to 30, according to the penny, he said. While its specificity is 100%, sensitivity varies from five to five to 85%, the ICMR holder said.

Speaking of fans, Bhushan said that less than 1% of enthusiasts in the country were used for Covid patients at any time. He said that in reaction to the government’s appeal, Indian corporations are producing and supplying up to 60,000 enthusiasts, of which 18,000 have already been delivered to EU states and territories. Nearly 2 billion rupees from the PM-CARES fund were used to fund 50,000 of these enthusiasts.

While India imported 75% of the enthusiasts used in the country, 96% of these new enthusiasts are manufactured in the country and make up 90% in value, he said.

According to Bhargava, 3 vaccines are being tested in complex clinical trials in the country. While Bharat Biotech and Zydus Cadila vaccines have entered Phase II clinical trials at 11 sites each, the Oxford Unviersity recombinant vaccine has been approved for Phase II and III trials at 17 sites, he said.
