Hyderabad: Despite the rise in active Covid-19 infections in Telangana, there are clear indications that the new Omicron variants are not causing a surge in hospitalisations and there are no fatalities among individuals who have tested positive, preliminary clinical observations and trends by senior government doctors in Hyderabad have indicated. Between June 1 and July […]

Hyderabad: The ongoing surge of Covid infections in multiple States, including Telangana, which is being attributed to BA4 and BA5 variants of Omicron, is merely a ripple and not a wave, the developers of the SUTRA mathematical model for forecasting pandemics on Thursday said. The mathematicians and researchers from IIT-Kanpur and IIT Hyderabad, who developed […]

Hyderabad: The ongoing surge of Covid-19 infections — widely believed to be driven by the BA4 and BA5 variants of Omicron — in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Telangana, could peak sometime in July, a preliminary assessment by the SUTRA mathematical model for forecasting pandemics has revealed. For the past one week, the South […]

Hyderabad: Several Indian States including Telangana must expect to cross the peak in daily Covid infections driven by the Omicron variant in the third wave, in the coming days. The daily Covid positive cases are expected to peak anytime soon and could continue to last for a week or 10 days before the growth of […]

Hyderabad: Omicron variant-driven Covid-19 infections are on the rise in major Indian cities, which could lead to a peak in January. However, it would still take a lot of time for the virus to spread to the entire country, researchers, who developed the noted SUTRA mathematical model for projecting pandemics, said. While the SUTRA model […]

Sangareddy: When Covid-19 pandemic struck India in early 2020, it became imperative to have a single consolidated “go-to” website for relevant information at national, State, and even district-level. The website http://covid19india.org was started at that time and was the most popular website for such information, in addition to the Ministry website. In August 2021, the […]

Hyderabad: Presence of low levels of antibodies, which are measured through existing antibody tests offered by diagnostic facilities, is not an indication that one has lost protection from Covid-19. While the demand for such antibody tests has increased, especially among people who have received two doses of Covid vaccines, they do not present an accurate […]
