Covid Task Force Chief Vk Paul

The Centre has said controlling the rampant Covid safety guidelines at political rallies is the responsibility of the Election Commission while advising states to take immediate measures to control a rapid Covid surge in cities.

Omicron is spreading at a very fast pace in India and the scale of infections in the UK and France could translate to lakhs of cases a day in the country, the government's Covid task force chief said today.

Amid concerns over the Omicron variant of coronavirus, Covid Task Force chief Dr VK Paul on Tuesday said India should have vaccine platforms that are "adaptable quickly" with changing nature of the variants.

The government will take a final decision on vaccinating children and adolescents against coronavirus on the basis of overall scientific rationale as well as the supply situation of vaccines, COVID Task Force chief VK Paul said on Sunday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set the country and his government an ambitious target - to stop a potential third wave of COVID-19 cases in India before it even begins - Dr VK Paul, chief of India's Covid task force, said during a press briefing.

Covid Task Force chief VK Paul today said it will be unfair to put a date for any Covid wave as the behaviour of the virus is unpredictable and a disciplined and effective pandemic response can help India get away from any significant outbreak.
