HSE immunisation chief says measles is preventable but 'the virus spreads very quickly between people who are not vaccinated and can have severe consequences'
The average size of new houses in India increased to 1,300 sq ft in 2023 from 1,050 sq ft in 2019, with the National Capital Region (NCR) witnessing a significant rise. In the NCR, the average apartment size increased from 1,375 sq ft in 2022 to 1,890 sq ft in 2023, reflecting a 37% yearly growth. The shift towards larger living spaces is attributed to increased demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over a five-year period, the average size of flats across India jumped by 51% from 1,250 sq ft in 2019. Luxury housing also witnessed growth, constituting about 23% of total new launches in 2023.
The spike in measles cases is fueled by vaccine hesitancy. The U.K. declared a “national incident” over the recent surge, signaling the growing public health risk.
The NHS campaign will also target areas of low vaccine coverage, such as London and the West Midlands.
