Comparing To China New Coronavirus Variant BF.7 May Not Have Severity In India: CSID-CCMB
Hyderabad, Dec 26 (Maxim News) The Scientists from the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) and the Council of Scientific Industrial Reservation (CSIR) are of the opinion that the severity of the BF.7 variant of coronavirus in India may not be as serious as it is currently in China, in view of that most of the Indian have already developed ‘herd immunity.
However, the Director of CCMB Vinay K.Nandicoori has stressed the need to follow Covid appropriate behavior such as using masks, and sanitizers, maintaining distance, and avoiding large gatherings saying that all these variants have the ability to escape immunity and can infect people who are vaccinated and even sometimes infected with the previous variants of Omicron
“The severity of the infection is not as much as it used to be with Delta, because of the fact that we do have herd immunity to an extent. Actually, we have her immunity because we are exposed to the other viruses, he said. “We (India) have seen the Delta wave which is a big one. Then we got vaccinated and then the Omicron wave came and we continued booster doses. We are different in many ways. What is happening in china may not happen in India because of that,”
The CCMB director said the “Zero Covid Policy” followed by China is one of the reasons for the outbreak of the infection in that country and opined that lower vaccination levels may also have contributed to the severity. “It is actually that (the zero Covid Policy that China has followed) and also the fact is in china, not many people really went for the vaccine as it has happened in India, all the older population is vaccinated and sometimes even booster dose has been given to them or to the susceptible sections, he said.
