The country sees a fall of Second Wave
“It is convincing that we are on the fall of the second wave, and it will be maintained if restrictions open up regularly as the time comes,” said Dr. VK Paul, Niti Aayog member.
With the rates going down, the shortage of vaccines in several states is still a concern, said the Health Ministry. He said that more than 1.84 crore shots of the Covid-19 vaccine are still available with states and UTs and they will receive over 11 lakh doses within the next three days.
