Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday urged the government to ramp up its strategy to tackle the coronavirus disease. She pointed out to the overwhelmed medical infrastructure and shortage of vaccines and drugs to treat Covid-19. Sonia Gandhi was speaking during the meeting of the Congress Working Committee, which was attended by former party chief Rahul Gandhi, general secretaries and state in-charges of the party. &ldquo;Instead of listening to the constructive suggestions of the opposition, Union Ministers are pressed into service to attack leaders of opposition for giving those suggestions.

In a letter to PM Modi, Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik suggested four measures to improve the process of vaccination. Patnaik brought the issue of 'intermittent supply' of Covid-19 vaccine to PM Modi&rsquo;s notice and said that the Centre needed to align their forces and work together to face the pandemic. He suggested vaccines are made available in the open market so that citizens who can afford them can buy the shots on their own.

Vaccine production units should be ramped up with the help of the Centre and state governments, he added. He also mentioned in his letter that metropolitan cities that contribute the most to the Covid tally should be prioritised in the vaccination drive.

China has operationalised its new biosecurity law to fortify the legal cover for the establishment and safe operation of more bio labs in the country. The move comes amidst questions whether the Covid-19 originated from such a laboratory in Wuhan.
The coronavirus emerged in China's central Wuhan city in December 2019.
Beijing has said that under the new Biosecurity Law, China will continue to build and approve more labs specialising in advanced pathogenic microbiology.
The US has alleged that the Covid-19 may have emanated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab, but China has strongly denied the charge.

A new study published in the medical journal Lancet has found "consistent, strong evidence" that the novel coronavirus is predominantly transmitted through the air

A new study published in the medical journal Lancet has found "consistent, strong evidence" that the novel coronavirus&nbsp;is predominantly transmitted through the air. A team of 6 experts from UK, USA and Canada found that 'evidence supporting airborne transmission is overwhelming, and evidence supporting large droplet transmission is almost non-existent'. They urged the WHO and other public health agencies to change their description of Covid&nbsp;transmission 'so that the focus of mitigation is put on reducing airborne transmission'.
They said while hand washing is an important measure, it should be given less emphasis than measures such as wearing mask at all times, even when indoors, air ventilation, reducing crowding as they are more effect for curbing air borne transmission.&nbsp;
