The number of new Covid-19 infections in India fell by 11.4 percent in the last 24 hours, with 2,202 people testing positive, bringing the total to 43,123,801, according to data released by the Union health ministry on Monday. The country’s daily tally had been 2,487 for the previous 24 hours.
In Monday’s bulletin, India reported 27 new fatalities, bringing the total number of deaths to 524,241. There were also 2,550 recoveries, bringing the total number of such cases to 42,582,243; total active cases, on the other hand, were 17,317, down 375 from the previous bulletin.
According to the data, recovery, deaths, and active cases account for 98.74 percent, 1.22 percent, and 0.04 percent of the total caseload, respectively.
The daily positivity rate was 0.74 percent and the weekly positivity rate was 0.59 percent, respectively. In addition, 297,242 samples were tested for the viral illness in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of tests to over 840 million.
Meanwhile, 310,218 additional doses of Covid-19 vaccine were administered, bringing the total number of doses administered to 1.91 billion since the nationwide vaccination campaign began on January 16 last year.
On Sunday, Delhi had 613 daily infections and three deaths, while Maharashtra had 255 daily infections and one death. Mumbai, Maharashtra’s capital and the country’s financial powerhouse, was responsible for 151 new cases and the lone death in the state.

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.
