Expert On Coronavirus In India: Corona cases are continuously increasing in China. According to the reports, lakhs of corona positive cases are being reported daily in China. At the same time, the number of dead is also going up rapidly. Amidst all this, a top scientist of Tata Institute for Genetics and Society (Bengaluru) said on Friday that Indian people have hybrid immunity and due to this no significant effect of sub-variants will be seen in India.
However, the scientist has said that people should be careful, as the only tool for the outbreak of the virus is mutation. Speaking to ANI, Dr. Rakesh Mishra, Director, Tata Institute for Genetics and Society said, “They all omicron There are all variants of it and it is powerful in terms of infectivity. That’s how it keeps getting new things and surprising us.”
‘More variants of Corona will emerge from China’
Dr. Rakesh Mishra said, “We should be more careful, because the only tool of this virus is mutation. Now China is the playground for this virus for the next several months. This means that the virus has new uses and It will be a good opportunity to try multiple variants and new variants will come out from there.”
‘It is necessary to follow the Kovid protocol’
Dr. Mishra warned about new variants and stressed on genomic surveillance. He said that people should not lower their security and follow Covid protocols like wearing masks and social distancing. Dr. Mishra also highlighted that India is in a good position due to corona vaccination and hybrid immunity.
‘Nothing to worry or panic’
He said, “We are in a very good condition and there is really nothing to worry or panic at this point of time. Whereas if I explain the situation in China, they followed the zero covid policy which did not allow the disease to spread, So it’s like going back to the beginning of the disease in China. China hasn’t phased out any wave.”
Drawing a comparison between India and China, Dr. Mishra said that India has a strong defense of immunity and China has not developed that status. He called for more testing, genome sequencing and environmental monitoring to track down sub-variants and mutations.
