Patna: Even as a good percentage of the population of adults in this country has been vaccinated against Covid-19, fear of a pandemic still looks great.

4.2) is very contagious and has been found even in parts of India, including Kerala, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka.

Satish Kumar stressed that there was no direct cause of worries in Bihar because not one case with a new Delta variant had been reported recently.
With more people who are vaccinated with doses, the state is prepared to overcome the emergence of a new variant of the virus.
