Coronavirus LIVE: India had 29,435 people suffering from Covid-19 and 934 deaths from the disease till Tuesday, said the government as it cautioned against plasma therapy as treatment.
There is "no concrete evidence to support plasma therapy as coronavirus treatment," said Lav Agarwal, joint secretary in the health ministry, at a press conference in Delhi.
Plasma therapy transfuses plasma from a convalescent coronavirus patient to a critical patient.
A convalescent patient’s blood is rich in antibodies that theoretically should help a critical patient recover. Delhi claimed India's first plasma therapy success story last week by treating a 49-year-old man at a private hospital.
