The Central government has asked the states to ramp up the genome sequencing of the Covid-positive samples amid the worrying surge in nations such as China, the US and Japan. Union health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan wrote to the state governments on Tuesday to gear up the sequencing mechanism to track and isolate new variants in the country.
Covid cases continue to rise in China after the government reversed its strict lockdown restrictions under the zero-Covid policy. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist, said the Covid deaths in China are likely to have reached “millions”. Videos that have emerged from China seem to confirm Feigl-Ding’s claim as bodies pile up at hospitals and crematoriums.
