COVID-19 Successfully Contained, No New Cases In Fifth Of India: Harsh Vardhan

Mumbai: Noting that less than 12,000 new coronavirus cases were reported on Thursday, Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said, “India has successfully contained the pandemic.”

No new cases were reported in its fifth district for a week, even with 2.4 million people involved in its vaccination campaign.

The country of 1.35 billion has the highest number of cases in the world after the United States, although the rate of infection has decreased significantly since mid-September. Some studies have suggested that India’s pockets have acquired herd immunity through natural infection.
