Talking about Tuesday, newly infected corona patients have not been found in four states of the country. In 19 states, not a single patient has died due to infection on Tuesday.
Not a single death occurred in 19 states, now only 1.41 lakh active patients remain in the country
Not only this, but the number of active patients has also fallen by more than two thousand. Due to this, only 1.41 lakh active patients are left in the country, out of which one lakh patients are in home isolation in their homes.
On Wednesday, the Union Health Ministry said that 11,067 infected patients have been found in the country on the last day. 13,087 were discharged. Meanwhile, 94 people have died due to infection. With this, the total number of infected in the country has increased to 1,08,58,371 out of which 1,05,61,608 patients have become healthy and 1,55,252 patients have died.

57 percent of health workers received corona vaccine
So far, 57 percent of health workers in the country have been vaccinated with the coronavirus. At the same time, 13.2 percent of the frontline workers got vaccinated in the last eight days. On Wednesday, the Union Health Ministry said that 68,26,898 people have been vaccinated in the country.

According to the Health Ministry, the vaccination program was organized in 33 states of the country till 6 pm on 10 February. Of these, 10 states had the highest number of vaccinations. So far, 30 people have been admitted to the country after being vaccinated. Their average rate is 0.0004 percent.

Scientists are not yet clear on herd immunity: Dr. Arora
On one hand, vaccination in the country is progressing rapidly and by next month it is going to come in the third phase. On the other hand, in some metros including Delhi, more than 50 percent of the people surveyed are getting infected. In such a situation, the question is whether herd immunity has developed in the metros of the country.
It is important to give information about taking blood-thinning medicine before taking the vaccine
If yes, then what is the need to take the corona vaccine? Not only this, but patients suffering from some diseases are also taking medicines to keep their blood thin. Do they have to continue using their medications while taking the Corona vaccine? Many such questions are in the minds of people,
According to Dr. Arora, shortly before, antibodies against corona have been found in more than 50 percent of people in Delhi. There is a discussion that herd immunity for coronavirus has developed in Delhi, but the scientific approach does not agree with this.
Even after receiving 76 percent of herd immunity in many countries, corona infection increased rapidly in those countries in four weeks. Nothing can be said clearly about herd immunity. In the answer to a question, Dr. Arora said that whatever medicines are taken for the disease, keep taking them, there is no problem with this vaccine.
If a person is taking blood-thinning medicine then he can take the vaccine. Since a very thin needle is used while giving the vaccine, but it is necessary to inform the vaccination officer about the medicine. Those people who already have asthma or any respiratory disease, then those people should also get the Corona vaccine.
No antibodies in a third even after the infection
Dr. Arora said that after having corona, people think that enough antibodies have developed in their body, but there is at least one-third of people in their own country have not been born with antibodies even after infection. Even once the antibody is born, how many days it will last, is not yet known. That is why it is important to protect yourself by joining vaccination.
