Shocking scenes of makeshift cremation sites and families agonizing over loved ones on the verge of death due to insufficient medical grade oxygen at hospitals in India, tell the story of how quickly a COVID-19 surge bolstered by variants can overwhelm a country’s resources.

Masks work best when everyone wears them, but not at the time when someone puts it on incorrectly.
For those who wear the face incorrectly, their risk of getting infected by the rogue virus is 2.5 times higher than those who wear it properly.
These findings came out in a survey conducted by IEDCR which says the rate of infection is cent percent among the people who never use masks outside the home.
Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) conducted a surgery from April 1 to April 20 among 148 Covid-19 positive patients and 245 Covid-19 negative people.
Data was collected from both the groups and then analysed the reason for infection and found that mask is the key way to protect from infection.
