India's overall COVID-19 cases remain low, though there has been an uptick in cases in the last week in several cities. Delhi, for example, is reporting rising COVID-19 cases among children in schools, which is a worrying sign.

Top virologist Dr Gagandeep Kang has called the prescription of monoclonal antibody therapy by the doctors in the private hospitals of the country for the treatment of Omicron variant of COVID-19 patients "unethical, immoral and unscientific".

India's top biomedical scientist Dr Gagandeep Kang explains what could be the factors that make the new coronavirus strain, Omicron, a variant of concern. Omicron has more mutations than any other variant seen in the past, Dr Kang told NDTV.

Noting that COVID-19 may be heading towards endemicity in India, vaccinologist Dr Gangandeep Kang today said local flare-ups that will be smaller and spread wider across the country

India delayed the process of bulk-buying vaccines unlike several other nations and may now have few options available in the international market. "Aren't we a little late to the table on this one?'' said top virologist Dr Gagandeep Kang.

Estimating a timeline of the decline of COVID-19 in India, medical experts told NDTV that India could hope to see a "curb in the spread of coronavirus in early 2021", but cautioned that "returning to the pre-Covid era will take a long time".

Scientist Dr Gagandeep Kang has become the first Indian woman to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in London. Called India's vaccine "God Mother", Dr Kang has joined the likes of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin to be elected to the 360-year-old scientific body.
