Sarkar Sawarup Board member, former director of infectious disease, who also attended the meeting, explained the factors weighed by experts.
“Based on the available research, except 70% to 80% of the vaccinated population, it is difficult to prevent the next wave.
The numbers out in the public domain show that at the current vaccination rate in India, this cannot be achieved before June 2022.
Problems with vaccination Partial is that he also raises mutants, “he said.
Considering these factors, this country considers the reopening of November of school and college, said source.
Bengal vaccinated by around 3 lakh to 4 lakh people every day, said the head minister, added that three crore people in Bengal had received their first dose, including around 90 lakh had both doses.
At the current speed, the country hopes to double the vaccination number to six crores before Durga Puja in the second week of October.
It will help achieve the vaccination target of 80% (at least one dose).

The government has carefully apply it.
I believe the High Court (Calcutta) also said something.
But this meeting was mainly to discuss waves Third.
I will urge you (media) to notify people not to delay care.
There is enough oxygen, and people have been trained.
If anyone feels discomfort, they must immediately seek medical advice.
Delay in care also leads to Death.
“Sarkar, however, indicates that the sidewalk must continue even during the festival.
Asked specifically on the economic battle of inflation and price increases on fuel and LPG, economists said: “The (Union) The government has fiscal problems, and may have more faith in balancing the budget rather than a free expenditure policy.
The government tries to use one instrument What it has as a form of other tax collection is not necessarily in accordance with the economy, considering the economy is slow.
It uses this to balance the budget.
But this is not the direction that should not be taken by the government …
I think the government should be more open with expenses.
I have said this Many, many times.
I think the central government is too unwilling to do what is done by the US economy or Europe – printing money and expenses.
And I think it will be a better policy in this context.
Inflation has run out because of the high price of fuel .
I think there is a good case for UK becomes more open.
But to be fair, the central government has now moved towards that direction and announced some relaxation.
I think less attention to the deficit may be the right strategy.
“Specifically on Bengal, he said:” The economy is integrated, and it is difficult for someone to do something different from other countries.
People work outside.
Our products are sold outside, we buy from others.
