India is the country of the moment in the world to exceed 7 million cases in total, after the United States.
The vast country of nearly 1. 4 billion more people was prepared to become the most pandemic-affected country in a matter of weeks and surpass the United States, where more than 8. 2 million people were diagnosed with COVID-19. peak of 97,894 new cases in a day without getting married in September, the average number of daily cases in India has declined.
Pakistan’s head of reaction to COVID-19, Asad Umar, said Tuesday that the country had noticed a 140% increase in disease deaths in recent weeks because other people “recklessly ignored” social estating regulations.
“If we replace our current path, we will lose lives and livelihoods,” Umar, who is also Pakistan’s Minister of Planning and Development, warned in a message posted on his official Twitter account.
Umar’s caution comes after the National Command and Operations Center recorded 618 new cases and 14 deaths in the following 24 hours, one jump from the following day.

In an effort to accelerate the race to a vaccine opposed to the new coronavirus, the UK government announced Tuesday morning that it would publish debatable vaccine studies called provocation trials.
In a global first for COVID-19, healthy young volunteers will be vaccinated and then deliberately exposed to the life-threatening virus to check vaccines in a controlled environment. Although some medical experts consider them ethically questionable, the merit of provocation controls is that they can be completed in a much shorter time frame than traditional complex studies.
The experiment will be conducted in a quarantine room at a hospital in north London. After inhaling a diluted dose of the virus, the trial participants will be strictly monitored, allowing scientists and doctors to better perceive the disease and how a vaccine can fight it.
“Human challenge studies can help us understand COVID-19 in an exclusive way and drive the progression of many new and prospective remedies and vaccines for COVID-19,” said Dr Chris Chiu of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Imperial College London, a lead researcher in the study of human challenge.
