A joint study of researchers from IIT Bhubaneswar and AIIMS has shown that corona infection in India will increase more rapidly during the monsoon and winter seasons.

In this study, it is said that the fall in temperature due to rain and cold weather in winter will be favorable for the spread of Covid 19. The study has been conducted under the leadership of Assistant Professor V Vinoj of the School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Science at IIT Bhubaneswar.

The title of the report of this study is "Covid-19 Spread in India and its dependence on Temperature and Relative Humidity". This study has also seen the pattern of outbreak of corona infection in 28 states. Vinoz has stated that the rise in temperature slows the rate of infection.

This study has not been published yet. According to the news agency PTI, the report of this study shows that temperature and related humidity is related to increased infection.

"If the temperature rises by one degree Celsius, it will help to reduce the incidence of infection by 0.99%," Vinoj told PTI.

The Indian Medical Association said on Saturday that the condition of corona virus epidemic in India is very bad. The Indian Medical Association has said that spreading of corona infection in rural areas of India is now a sign of community transmission.

Dr. VK Monga, chairman of the IMA Hospital Board of India, told news agency ANI that corona virus infection is spreading rapidly in India. Now more than 30,000 new cases are coming up every day.

Monga said, "This is a very bad situation for the country. There are many aspects related to it, but now it is spreading in rural areas. This is a very bad sign. ''

Monga warned that it would be even more difficult for the government to prevent the corona virus in towns and villages.

He said, "In Delhi we are able to prevent corona but what will happen in the remote parts of Maharashtra, Kerala, Goa and Madhya Pradesh?" State governments should prevent the health crisis from deepening with the central government. ''

The Union Health Ministry has consistently rejected community transmission of corona virus in India.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Friday that community transmission has started in parts of Thiruvananthapuram.

Thiruvananthapuram was divided into three containment zones on Saturday and locked for 10 days.

Monga has said that herd immunity and vaccine are the only way to prevent the disease.

"There will be many trials and human trials for the vaccine, after which a study will be done on its effectiveness and side effects," he said.

It will also have to be seen how long the immunity developed from this will persist because not all patients are getting immunity for more than three months.

Two vaccine trials are currently underway in India. The Ethics Committee of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Saturday approved the first indigenous vaccine for human trials of cocaine.

AIIMS will start recruiting volunteers for the vaccine trial from Monday. ZyCoV of India's second vaccine Zydus Cadila also reached the opening phase of the Human Trial this week. Clinical trials of this vaccine will be conducted in many cities in India.

The number of Corona virus infection cases in India reached 10,77,618 on Sunday. So far, 26,000 people have died in the country from Corona, while 6.7 lakh people have been recovered.

SARS-CoV-2 virus infection by mosquitoes does not spread to humans. This has been revealed in the first study on this subject. This study has been published in the journal Scientific Reports.

This study found that the virus could not increase its numbers among the three main species of mosquitoes. Therefore, even if a mosquito bites a corona infected, it cannot spread the infection to humans.

The author of this study has said, "Even in the most difficult situation, SARS does not spread through CoV-2 mosquitoes. This is not possible even if the same mosquito bites someone else after biting an infected person."

This study has also been confirmed by the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization has also cited this study as saying that the mosquito cannot be a carrier of Kovid 19 infection. However, it is still unclear what the relationship between the corona virus and the animal is?

The corona virus began to spread from Wuhan's fish market in China. It is a meat and fish market and meat of many animals was available. Some reports have also said that dogs and cats are also carriers of corona, but there is no strong evidence of this.

Balaram Bhargava, director general of the Indian Council of Medical Research, has told the media that two vaccines are underway in India regarding the corona. According to him, the use of these vaccines on rats and rabbits has been successful. Subsequently, the Drug Controller General of India has approved the human trial of these vaccines.

Bharat Biotech International Limited and Zydus Cadila are trying to make Corona vaccine in India. The vaccine name of Bharat Biotech International Limited is Covaxine.

"Now preparations are underway for human trials of both these vaccines. Both the contenders have prepared their clinical trials instead of making the vaccine. Vaccine will be used on one thousand people in both places.

During this period, Balaram Bhargava talked about the preparations for the vaccine in other countries.

He said, "Russia has accelerated the process of making its vaccines and their use has been successful in the initial stages." Work is also going on at a fast pace in China. In the United States, two vaccines are in full swing. Whereas Britain is trying to speed up the vaccine process being made at Oxford University.''

Even after recovering from the corona virus infection, there is a possibility of it coming back.

A new study has also shown that after the corona infection is cured, the immunity about the virus in the body remains for a very short time.

Scientists at King's College London are studying how the body makes antibodies to the corona virus, how many weeks and months this antibody lasts.

Antibodies found in all 96 people involved in this study were able to inhibit the corona virus. But antibody levels began to decrease over the course of three months.

However, it is not clear yet that the level of the antibody is likely to be vulnerable to the same virus. However, immunity is also short lived in common flu vegrah. In such a situation, there is a possibility of catching the same virus.

This study also showed that many times the antibodies present in the body cannot be measured, this does not mean that the body does not have immunity. Because only antibodies do not protect the body. The body also produces T cells to fight against external viruses.

This entire case still needs to be studied in detail, especially in cases where people are getting infected for the second and third time. Are they falling ill or does their body easily contend with the virus? Detailed studies can prove important to understand how effective a vaccine will be and when it will be necessary to give boosters to increase immunity.

Corona virus infection also affects the heart of patients.

A study by the University of Edinburgh, UK has indicated the effects of this virus on the hearts of the infected.

At Edinburgh University, the study was conducted on 1200 patients from 69 countries. More than half of these patients have seen abnormal heart, while 15 percent of cases have seen severe heart disease in the infected.

It is noteworthy that this study only included those who were suffering from severe infection of Covid-19. However, in most cases, only mild symptoms of corona infection occur in the infected.

Professor Mark Dweck, the lead researcher of this study, told BBC Radio 4's Today program that this research will help us take care of the infected.

Mark Dweck stated, "Heart disturbances have been seen as a serious problem for these patients. This has linked the possibility of saving their lives, it is also a factor affecting their recovery. Now we have to take good care and treatment of the heart of these patients too.''

Not only this, according to Mark, the patients of Covid-19 who have heart problems need to be stressed quickly.

Before this, the corona virus has had a long-term impact on health and the brain has been exposed.

South Korean health officials have said that one in three South Korean Corona patients have seen an improvement in their condition after giving antidepressant drug Remdesivir of Gayleed Science Inc.

According to the news agency Reuters, South Korean officials have said that additional research is still needed to determine whether the improvement in patients 'condition is due to the drug or other factors - such as patients' immunity and other treatments has come.

The drug was given in the form of injections to Corona patients during clinical trials in the United States. This reduced the time taken for patients to recover in the hospital.

Since then, Remdesivir has been used as a major weapon in the war against Covid 19.

Many countries, including South Korea, are using this medicine to treat diseases caused by the corona virus. So far no vaccine has been prepared for this virus.

The drug maker Gaylead said on Friday that an analysis has revealed that the use of Remdesivir has reduced the risk of dying of patients from the ailing Covid 19.

But the company has also said that extensive clinical trials need to be done to ensure the benefits.

Russia's Seknoff University has claimed successful testing of the Covid-19 vaccine on volunteers.

Speaking to Russian news agency Tas, Chief Researchers Ilina Smolyarchuk has said that the research results show that the vaccine is effective.

He said, "Research has been completed and it has been proved that this drug is safe." Volunteers will be discharged on 15 July and 20 July. Ilina is the Head of Clinical Research and Medicines at Seknoff University.

Volunteers will be kept under observation after being discharged from the university. In this university, the vaccine was given to a parley group of 18 volunteers on 18 June, while the other group was given this vaccine on 23 June.

The Russian Embassy in India has tweeted in this regard that it is the world's first vaccine against Covid-19.

At the same time, clinical trials of vaccines made in India are also going on. The UK-based vaccine at Oxford University is also undergoing testing. Its initial results have also been encouraging.

Indian Drug Controller Association CDSCO has approved the drug ilizomev used for the skin disease psoriasis for the treatment of Covid-19.

According to the news agency PTI, while granting this permission, it has been said that it can be used only in emergency situations and written approval letter of each patient must be obtained before its use.

An official associated with the organization has said, "The clinical trial of this drug has been done on Covid-19 patients in India." A committee of many other experts, including AIIMS pulmonologists, pharmacologists, medicine experts, found this drug suitable for the treatment of cytokine release syndrome in Covid-19 patients experiencing breathing difficulties. After this the drug was allowed.''

Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the World Health Organization's emergency program, said on Friday that the new Corona virus does not appear to be completely eradicated.

At an online press conference in Geneva, he said that "the situation that is currently visible does not seem to be able to completely eradicate the virus".

"By preventing the spread of the corona virus in clusters where more cases of infection are coming out, we can avoid another round of epidemic and move on from a lockdown situation," he said.
