In the first 24 hours of Covid-19, India has recorded 1,086 new cases and 71 deaths

India registered a slight upward tick in the Covid-19 graph with 1,086 new cases in the last 24 hours. The cumulative coronavirus caseload now stands at 43,030,925. New infections breached the 1,000 mark after two straight days of reporting new cases.

The death toll climbed to 5,21,487 with 71 fatalities in the past one day. India’s active cases dipped to 11,871, comprising only 0.03 per cent of the total infections. The national Covid-19 recovery rate remained at 98.76 per cent.

A total of 15,49,699 vaccine doses were administered to the eligible groups in the last 24 hours. India has primarily been administering Serum Institute’s Covishield, Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin and Russia’s Sputnik as vaccines against the deadly coronavirus disease.

India’s Covid-19 tally had surpassed the one-crore mark on December 19, 2020. The country crossed the milestone of two crore on May 4 and three crore on June 23 last year. After a period of downward trend, the country witnessed a third wave in January 2022 fuelled by the highly-transmissible Omicron variant.

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.
