The Health Ministry gave information in this regard in the press conference on Corona virus.

Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary, Ministry of Health said that in view of the increasing cases and deaths of Corona in the capital, Delhi Government is being talked to. He informed that some special instructions have been given to the state government. If they are followed then the cases may come under control.

Regarding the increasing cases of Corona virus in India, he said, "Every day positive cases are increasing. This should be seen in the context of the entire population. The government has adopted a hierarchical approach to open up the economy by ensuring adequate testing capacity, giving clear guidelines to clinical treatment protocols and enhancing hospital infrastructure. ''

He said that compared to other countries, there are very few cases of kovid per million (population) in India. There are also very few deaths per million in India. There have been 49 deaths per 1 lakh. At the same time, there are 2,792 cases per million population of corona virus.

The Health Ministry also informed that a second sero survey has started in 70 districts across India. The results will come in the next two weeks.

Also told that 11 lakh tests of corona virus have been done in the last 24 hours. So far, more than 4.5 crore tests have been conducted in the whole country.

There has also been a decrease in the corona case in some states. According to the Health Ministry, there has been a weekly decrease of 13.7 percent in active cases in Andhra Pradesh. Similarly, there has been a weekly decrease of 16.1 percent in Karnataka, 6.8 percent in Maharashtra and 23.9 percent in Tamil Nadu and 17.1 percent in Uttar Pradesh.

Maharashtra has seen a 7 percent decrease in corona virus cases in the last three weeks.

Blacks and minorities are at greatest risk of corona epidemic

A study in Britain has revealed that the risk of corona virus on people of black and minority backgrounds is more than that of whites.

According to reports, these people can be the main workers, who use public transport and live in multi-generational homes. This study has been conducted by Race Equality Think Tank Runimeday Tests.

And according to another study conducted by the New York Federal Reserve Bank in the US, the businesses of black people have been the most affected in the epidemic and are on the verge of closure.

The study says that black people are facing the double whammy of this health crisis and are also facing economic challenges, because they do not get the loan from the bank easily.

How much will Corona's danger increase if red light areas are opened?

A research study has been conducted on the condition of sexworkers in the era of Corona crisis in India. According to this, if the redlight areas are opened, then next year at least four lakh sex workers will come under the grip of Corona and thousands of them may die.

If a sex worker is infected, the infection can reach hundreds of people. According to this study, three out of every five deaths from Covid-19 can occur in redlight areas.

The authors of this research study, Abhishek Pandey and co-author Dr. Sudhakar V Nuti, say that the central government and state governments should keep the redlight areas closed until the corona vaccine becomes available.

The study also appealed to take steps towards making sex workers a skilled worker in times of Corona crisis so that these people do not face a livelihood crisis and also prevent corona infection.

Abhishek Pandey, who led the study, is associated with Yale University's Center for Infectious Diseases Modeling and Analysis, while Sudhakar V Nutty belongs to Massachusetts General Hospital and the Department of Medicine of Harvard Medical School.

Will the Taj Mahal gates reopen to tourists?

Taj Mahal is going to open to the public once again after three months of lockdown. The doors of this historic seventeenth-century building will open to tourists from Monday.

But this time guidelines have been issued for tourists under which they will always have to wear masks, keep distance from other people and will not be allowed to touch its shiny marble surface.

Only five thousand tourists will be allowed to visit the Taj Mahal every day. The tourists who come here will be divided into two groups.

This tomb was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his queen Mumtaz.

After 80 years of hard work, 80 thousand people sometimes come to see this mausoleum.

The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India has said, "Sanitation, social distancing and other health protocols will be followed at all historic buildings and places".

The Government of India is going to reopen the Taj Mahal and other historic buildings. These include the Red Fort in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, every day a new record of corona infection is being created in India and the previous record is being broken.

According to the government data released on Sunday morning, 24,850 new cases of corona infection were reported in India in the last 24 hours. With this, the total number of corona infections in India has increased to 673,165. There are 244,814 active cases while 409,082 people recover after getting infected.

But in the last 24 hours 613 people have also died in India due to Corona epidemic. The epidemic has killed 19,628 people in India so far. India is only slightly behind Russia in cases of corona infection.

Is the use of smart home devices increasing domestic violence?

Today technology has made human life very easy. These technological devices have proved to be even more effective in this period of worldwide lockdown.

Today, in the developed countries of the world, many people have smart devices in their homes that work at our behest.

From Alexa to Siri and Google Home, smart light bulbs, security cameras, and home temperature thermostats are examples of this.

These are called the Internet of Things (IoT) in the language of technology. Even the appliances that we use in our kitchen have many types of sensors.

But in developing countries and backward countries of the world, such a smart device can only be imagined. Some people in these countries have such smart devices. In fact, such smart devices are more prevalent in developed countries.

It is being said that they are likely to be used more in the next ten years. But many people are frightened by the increasing use of these devices.

They call them spies. Apps, or devices that run from the Internet, run as we ordered. Whatever commands we give them are stored in them.

This information can be used in any form.

A research also says that the use of smart devices is promoting domestic violence and causing bitterness in relationships.

In particular, the use of smartphones is the most dangerous. This completely kills the privacy of any human being.

There are many such apps for smartphones, from which any person can be spied without his knowledge.

Many parents use them to keep an eye on their children. The cameras installed in our houses also keep an eye on the outsiders as well as the housemates.

Who came to the house, went to which room, how long has been there, you know everything even when you are away from home.

Even when you get out of the house, when you come inside the house, this information is also present in your camera, which can be used in any form.

If there are Internet-operated locks in the house, one can be locked in the house even when away from home.

The makers of smart devices may not have thought that they can be used to control and monitor each other's life.

But this is happening. We have seen an example of this in one case.

In Britain, a man named Ross Cairns spied his wife with a temperature-controlled microphone tablet in the house, which he was sentenced to 11 months in prison.

Many more such cases have also come up. Experts say that calling each other ill and assaulting them are old ways of bringing bitterness in relationships.

But the kind of crimes that are happening through smart devices are more dangerous.

When the control of all smart devices is in the hands of one person in the same house, the control is taken away from the other people living there.

He can use it as he wants.

The monitoring done by the device gradually leads to the chase. The altercation starts in the house.

To what extent will this dispute reach, it is difficult to say.

Around a third of women worldwide have experienced some form of physical or sexual abuse from their partner.

Such activities increase the risk of depression, miscarriage, low birth weight and HIV in children.

In some cases, the process of snooping goes on killing and stops. Stealing someone secretly is mental disturbing.

38 percent of women worldwide are murdered by their current or old partner.

Experts say that at the international level, domestic violence is more than we can imagine. It is like a virus that spreads from one another.

A 2017 study shows that children who see violence against women in their homes grow up do the same.

Domestic violence cases have increased a lot even during this time of lockdown.

Experts have also expressed concern that if the lockdown is extended for the next 6 months, there will be a terrible jump in domestic violence cases.

Many people do not even know how technology can be exploited.

For example, the room in which you are sleeping, suddenly raise the temperature there. Internet connected lock should lock you in the room.

Or let the bell door bell sound at midnight. The code of the door leading into the house should be changed without telling you.

All these actions are mind-boggling to you and come under the purview of domestic violence. But often women do not understand this closeness.

The cyber security expert says that 35 percent has been gained in the device that allows the exposure of your partner's message, the app that tracks the phone's location, or the device's camera to enter.

Interestingly, the one who is spied does not even know. And the app is put in his phone.

This is a gross violation of the right to privacy of someone and a great crime. But it is a pity that there are very few helplines to control such people.

In Britain, there is a helpline called Refugee, which monitors such people. But it has been observed that such helplines are also not very helpful.

She first advises the victim to change the password or device. And when this happens, the situation worsens further.

Even after ending the relationship with such spying partner, he does not get chased.

Actually people who do this type of espionage are a kind of patient. If a person suspects his partner, he can go to any extent.

Such people seek their happiness in the suffering of the front. Even after being away from his partner, he continues to harass him.

However, to control such people, there is talk of a change in the law. A number of organizations are also being formed to bring those who do such actions to their end.

Technology is to make our life easier. It should be used in the same way, not by making it a weapon, and to wring our own relationships.

Relationships are built on the foundation of trust. If you have to spy on your own partner then where is the trust?

If not trust, how is the relationship? It is better to be imprisoned in any bad relationship than it should be.

China's fishes threaten the fishes of India; Crisis on the life of crocodiles

In India, the Ganga and Yamuna rivers are being captured by China-Africa fishes. Sometimes the number of foreign fishes brought to the ponds is increasing in these rivers so that the fish of the local species has to fight for survival.

Recent studies of the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute located in Barrackpore, West Bengal show that the biodiversity of the river has been threatened by the excess of foreign species. In the Ganga-Yamuna, the most important rivers of India, the life of the fish of the local species has become in crisis.

In recent times, the number of fishes of foreign species has increased in the water of these rivers. Actually, the seeds of foreign species of high-meat fishes were added to ponds in different parts of India, but due to floods and rains many fishes went into the water of the rivers. Once after come in the water of river, their number has increased rapidly.

Ishtiaq Ahmed, a fish specialist at the Institute of Conservation Education at the Bombay Natural History Society, said that fish like African cat fish were first shifted to Bangladesh. But, slowly, through Ganga Sagar, it has reached water from Patna, Allahabad, Kanpur and Haridwar. Along with the confluence of the Yamuna in Allahabad, they also got access to Yamuna waters.

Experts say that the backbone of the Tilpia fish originally from Bangkok is strong enough. It also creates a crisis on the lives of those eating organisms. It is believed that many crocodiles have died due to eating tilpia fish in the crocodile Century located in Chambal river.

In the ecosystem of the river the fish of local species plays an important role. They do the cleaning of the river. Whereas, foreign species are ending the number of local fish. This also threatens river health.

Dr V R Chitranshi, the former ADG Indian Council of Agriculture Research and the consultant of Central Inland Fisheries Institute, said, "Fishes of local species have been taking care of the health of Indian rivers more well. With the abundance of foreign fishes, their existence is facing a crisis which is a matter of concern."

Now the problem of baldness will be overcome, hair can be grown again on the head

Scientists hope that they are very close to finding the treatment of baldness. Researchers believe that they have discovered a method that can remove the problem of baldness and hair again on the head.

Scientists of the New York School of Medicine have activated a path within the brain, named 'Sonic hedgehog'. When the baby is in the womb, this path is very active, so that hair follicles are ready. But as the age increases or the wounds in the skin increase, this path is blocked.

Figures show that one-fourth of the men's hair starts flying the age of 25-reaching. Britain's Prince William's hair began to fly at the age of 22. It is not that this problem is only in men.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 40 percent of women reach the age of 40 to see the problem of hair fall. The path which is activated by the Doctor Mayumi Ito-led team also works as a communication mechanism between the cells.

Scientists studied the damaged skin of rats in the lab, in which the main focus was on the cells named 'fibroblast'. This cell is secreted by the name of collagen protein. This protein retains the strength and shape of the hair and skin. The researchers also focused on 'fibroblast' because of this, because there are many biological properties like fixing the wound itself.

According to a study published in 'Nature Communication', within four weeks of establishing communication between brain cells, the hair of rats began to grow again. The roots and structures of hair began to appear again within nine weeks. So far scientists used to believe that due to damaged skin the hair can not grow again. But now this evidence has shown a new direction in this area.

Doctor Ito says, "Now we know that this path is very active in the embryo, while with aging, this process starts slowing down. Our research suggests that 'fibroblast' can be corrected through Sonic hedgehog. The hair can be grown again.''

Your hair falls due to many changes in life. Changing homes, mourning or even during pregnancy, hair starts becoming weak. Apart from this, stress, bad food, chemicals dissolved in water, insecticides present in food, contraceptive pills also have major causes of hair fall.
