The threat from Covid-19 seems to have gotten over as no new variant of concern has been detected in the past year, former Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) scientist Dr Raman Gangakhedkar told News18.com.
The country’s top epidemiologist, who was the face of India’s apex medical research agency during government briefings on Covid-19 last year, said that “previously we have seen that new waves were coming almost every six months. But since last year, the same Omicron lineage continues”.
“The coronavirus is evolving and changing itself over time – which is making it more infectious but less virulent,” he said.
