After a week, India’s new Covid tally has dropped below 3000 cases, with 2,288 new cases and 10 deaths in 24 hours

On Tuesday, India’s daily Covid-19 tally slipped below 3,000 for the first time in a week. According to the latest data from the Union health ministry, the country reported 2,288 new cases in the last 24 hours, a decrease of 919 instances from the previous day’s total of 3,207, bringing the total number of infections to 43,107,689 so far.

In the same time period, ten deaths were reported, bringing the total number of deaths since the outbreak to 5,24,103.

The study also revealed that active cases currently account for 0.05 percent of all illnesses. After 3,044 patients recovered from the viral sickness in the same time period, the national recovery rate reached 98.74 percent. The total number of recoveries now stands at 4,25,63,949.

The number of tests completed the day before to detect the Covid-19 infection totaled 4,84,843, according to the health ministry. On the immunisation front, a total of 1,90,50,86,706 vaccines had been administered, with 13,90,912 delivered on Monday.

A few days ago, new diseases began to spread across the country, including Delhi and Maharashtra. A surge in cases from January to February was fueled by the highly transmissible Omicron strain.

The daily Covid tally, on the other hand, has been trending downward for the past two days, with infections now falling below the 3000-mark.

The World Health Organization’s recent report on unreported deaths made headlines because it estimated that 4.7 million people died in India as a result of Covid-19, compared to the government’s estimate of 4,80,000. In light of the availability of accurate data, the government denied the study and voiced its objections to the use of a “mathematical model” for forecasting excess mortality numbers.

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.
