Covid-19 cases, deaths declining, says govt; cautions against any laxity

Looking at the present global scenario, Dr V K Paul, member (health) at NITI Aayog said, that a second or third peak may occur in India, though it is impossible to do a definite prediction

Covid-19 cases and deaths are declining in India which is very reassuring, the Centre said on Tuesday but cautioned against any laxity saying an overwhelming proportion of the country's population is still "very very susceptible" to the virus and the situation may escalate unexpectedly.
 

While there is a continuous increasing trend in Covid-19 cases and deaths globally, particularly in America and Europe and the situation in the world is becoming worrisome, in contrast the scene in India is satisfying as the cases and deaths are declining, Dr V K Paul, member (health) at NITI Aayog, told a press conference here.
