Hyderabad: India It is necessary to reconsider the booster dose strategy in the light of several variants of the Coronavirus novel while playing and private laboratories must be encouraged to carry out genome sequences to identify a variant and a better level of threat, said a virus-threat.
“The current symptomatic testing strategy is fine, but there is a greater need for greater genome sequencing and the private sector, rather than only government institutions, must be permitted to do the same,” said Gagandeep Kang, Virologically, and Professor in the Department Gastrointestinal Sciences in Christian Medical College, Vellore.
In Hyderabad, there are several private laboratories who claim that they can reveal virus variants through RT-PCR to identify whether someone has been infected with deltas or omicron variants that are quick transmissions from Covid-19.
“We will not know whether someone is transmitted to others or not until the virus is cultivated in the laboratory, even though the current isolation rules and testing norms are fine in the practical sense,” Kang said.
Talking about the current drive vaccine Dr.
Kang draws attention to the importance of having a practical vaccination plan, especially in terms of preventive doses.
“Various studies in the UK have shown that protection provided by preventive doses falls in a few weeks …
How long can we offer a dose of prevention to all populations, we need to see this from the perspective of viability too,” he said.
Kang added that the drive vaccination for teenagers aged 15-17 years may be ineffective in reducing the overall risk because this age group only contributed 5% of the population.
According to Dr.
Kang, Omicron provides significant assistance during a pandemic as a mild infection caused.
“There are some theories about how it appears, but there is no guarantee that other severe variants will not appear, but we have been better adopted now, as we know what is successful in terms of medicine, care, vaccine, proper behavior, covid- 19, “he said.
“In countries like Singapore and Japan, half of the population wore a mask even before the pandemic,” he added.
