(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) New Delhi: The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said on Tuesday that the country has received three cases of re-infection with the coronavirus. Two of these cases have come to light in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. ICMR Director General Balaram Bhargava said that the time limit for re-infection has been fixed at 100 days.
Several studies have also revealed that antibodies are usually present in the body of a person once infected for four months. Bhargava said that re-infection is a problem, which first surfaced in Hong Kong. He said that we have received some data from the World Health Organization (WHO), referring to two dozen cases of re-infection worldwide. Efforts are being made to collect some data by talking to people who have been re-infected by telephone. Bhargava said that the WHO has also not yet stated whether a person can become infected again after 90 days, 100 days, or 110 days. But now the government has fixed its time limit to 100 days. According to this, there is a risk of re-infection after 100 days.
There is a big reduction in new cases coming up daily in the country and the number of patients getting cured is increasing. For the last 10 days, the number of deaths per day has also remained low by a thousand. According to the Union Ministry of Health, for the last five weeks, there has been a steady decline in average new cases per day. The average daily new cases in the second week of September were 92,830 and has come down to 70,114 in the second week of October. Things are improving across the country from Corona, but the situation in Kerala, Karnataka, and Bengal does not seem to be getting better. Kerala again has the highest number of new cases in the country. There have been 8,764 new cases in Kerala, 8,191 in Karnataka, and 3,631 in Bengal. In Kerala and Bengal, the number of infected has crossed three lakh, while in Karnataka it is 7.26 lakh.
