As the country witnessed a sharp increase in cases on a daily basis, Bhushan said there is no need to be “impressed” because, given India’s huge demographic base, the absolute numbers would be high.

States want to analyze knowledge and put into effect a reaction based on express knowledge at the state and district level, “what we call” knowing the epidemic,” Bhargava said.
“Now you will have enough knowledge for each state, district and control lab and it will be a long way to go in the fight against the epidemic,” he added.
In providing updates on vaccines, Bhargava stated that phase 1 human clinical trials of the two COVID-19 candidate vaccines developed through Bharat Biotech in collaboration with ICMR and Zydus Cadila Healthcare Limited have been completed and phase 2 trials of the two vaccine applicants have begun.
