New Delhi, May 10 (EFE).- India’s fight against the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has suffered another drawback as the vaccination rate has dropped, even as the country witnessed a slight drop in fresh cases and deaths on Monday.
After four days when the daily caseload stayed above the 400,000 mark, India registered 366,161 cases within the last 24 hours, taking the total number of cases to around 22.6 million, according to the health ministry.
The number of deaths in the same period stood at 3,754, after two consecutive days of the death toll crossing 4,000, taking the total number of Covid fatalities to 246,116 as India continued to be the global epicenter of the epidemic.

Let’s hope that this projection would not become a reality and that we as a nation will triumph in our combat against the spread of Covid-19.
Now that we’re at the tail end of a rather disastrous year that is 2020, our outlook is beginning to become brighter now that 2021 is approaching. With various Covid-19 vaccines passing clinical trials worldwide to incredibly positive results, the pandemic may be the thing of the past soon.
However, things may not be as rosy as it seems as based on projections by the United States-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Malaysia’s Covid-19 situation will worsen as we enter into 2021. In case you didn’t know, IHME is an independent population health research centre at UW Medicine and is part of the University of Washington.
