India s TRIPS waiver proposal on Covid vaccine gets wider, WTO support.
Fresh COVID-19 cases in India shows a worrying upward trend over the past one week, with the country reporting single-day rise of 16,752 cases in the last 24 hours to take the overall tally to 1,10,96,731 on Sunday, Union Health Ministry said. As people seems to have relaxed and continue to flout COVID-19 protocols, the number of new cases are spiking again in clusters. The latest report shows yet another lax behaviour by a community in Gurugram, which attended a birthday party and many have contracted the virus.
An upscale condominium in Gurugram s Sector 67 was sealed and declared a containment zone on Thursday after 19 of its residents were tested positive for the virus. Although not confirmed, the residents appeared to have gotten the virus after attending a birthday party at a restaurant.
