India has reported 15,823 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, which is 10.5% higher than yesterday, when the country’s daily increase in Covid cases was the lowest since early March and the number of infections was 14,313. India also reported 226 deaths from the coronavirus.

Active COVID-19 cases in India accounted for 0.61% of the total number of infections, the lowest level since March 2020—the current active cases are 2,07,653, the lowest level in 214 days. The total number of Covid infections in India has reached 3,40,01,743, while the death toll has increased to 4,51,189. A total of 13,25,399 tests were conducted, and the cumulative number of tests was 58,63,63,442. So far, under the national vaccination campaign, the country has received more than 964,300 doses of Covid vaccine.

A panel of experts recommended that Covaxin (Bharat Biotech’s COVID-19 vaccine) be used for children between 2 and 18 years of age. The national COVID-19 recovery rate was recorded at 98.06%, the highest level since March 2020. There have been at least 22,844 rehabilitations in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of rehabilitations in India to 3,33,42,901.

The daily positive rate—the number of positive cases identified for every 100—is 1.19%, which is less than 3% in the past 44 days. The weekly positive rate in India is 1.46%. Delhi has reported 34 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours. There are 365 active COVID-19 cases in the city.

Covid infection linked to more type 1 diabetes in kids and teens: Study

Covid infection linked to more type 1 diabetes in kids and teens: Study

Two studies that did not definitively resolve the question of whether the coronavirus can cause the chronic disease of diabetes found that Covid-19 in children and adolescents appeared to increase the chance of acquiring diabetes. Over two years after the pandemic’s commencement, researchers from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health looked at new type 1 diabetes diagnoses using national health registries. They discovered that type 1 diabetes was roughly 60% more likely to develop in children who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The risk within 30 days of a Covid infection confirmed by a PCR test was examined by the researchers. Young adults were also included in a Scottish study that was presented at the European Link for the Study of Diabetes meeting. This study indicated an increased risk one month following the viral sickness, but the researchers said they discovered no association after that point.

The authors of both studies emphasised that their findings do not necessarily imply a causal link between diabetes and the coronavirus. Other potential causes were emphasised, such as delays in seeking medical attention during the epidemic, the introduction of other diseases, and alterations in way of life brought on by lockdowns.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, an associate professor at the Nuffield department of primary care health sciences at the University of Oxford, stated: “There are a lot of plausible reasons that Covid-19 might lead to development of type 1 diabetes, but this remains in no way proved.”
According to a paper earlier this week in the medical journal The Lancet, the number of people with type 1 diabetes, in which the pancreas fails to generate the hormone insulin, may increase from 8.4 million to 17.4 million by the year 2040.

The illness, which has no known treatment and is most frequently diagnosed in children, is thought to be caused by a combination of genetics and exposure to particular pathogens, including SARS-Cov-2 as well as a larger family of viruses known as enteroviruses. Type 2 diabetes, which is more prevalent, typically appears later in life as sedentary habits and weight increase mess with the body’s ability to manage sugar.
