In a letter that surfaced on social media, the Uttar Pradesh law minister has lashed out at his state&rsquo;s health authorities, complaining that beds for Covid-19 patients are falling short and ambulances take hours to arrive in Lucknow.
Law Minister Brajesh Pathak&rsquo;s purported letter on the situation in his constituency also blamed the recent death of a scholar on the lack of an ambulance, though Padma Shri-winner Yogesh Praveen&rsquo;s family has denied making this charge.
Pathak did not reject the existence of a letter, which also appears to challenge the UP government&rsquo;s claim that it is on top of the fight against coronavirus.
"I had written a confidential letter to the government," he told PTI, refusing to elaborate further.

With 1.3 crore Covid-19 cases, India is now the 2nd worst-hit country in the world.
The new Covid-19 variants are spreading faster, and there are new symptoms as well
Symptoms such as fever, breathlessness, body ache, dry and persistent cough, and loss of smell and taste were already prevailing
Mutations in the virus are also causing conjunctivitis, sore throat, headache, rashes, upset stomach and discolouration of fingers and toes
Experts have also flagged a strange symptom called Covid Tongue in which the tongue may appear white and patchy. Xerostomia or dry mouth can also occur wherein salivary glands don&rsquo;t make enough saliva to keep the mouth wet
Dysfunction of Eustachian Tube or hearing loss with symptoms such as muffled hearing, reduced hearing, ear pain, should not be ruled out as symptom
Covid-19 can also affect the gastrointestinal tract, disrupting its functioning and can even cause bleeding in the tract.

Amid a worrying spike in Covid cases in the country, doctors are faced with a new challenge. The new strain of coronavirus that is wreaking havoc in the form of the sec

As India battles a fresh wave of Covid-19, the new virus strains, which have been more contagious, may also be more difficult to detect.
Multiple reports says that the commonly used RT-PCR test are giving negative results even in people who have visible and scientifically established symptoms. Doctors say the deadly virus even escapes the scanner with multiple RT-PCR tests.
A leading doctor told The Times of India even patients who show one of defining characteristics of Covid-19 such as the gray patches in lungs, have also tested negative. Researchers explain that in such cases it is possible that the contagion doesn&rsquo;t colonise the nasal or throat cavity. Therefore swab samples taken from these areas don&rsquo;t yield a positive result and it is only through bronchoalveolar lavage or BAL virus can be detected.
For many people, whose RT-PCR test came negative on subsequent BAL tests, they came out positive. Such patients, can continue to spread the infection while remaining undetected for the coronavirus, makes the fight against Covid-19 more daunting.

The govt has given the dose of approval that India needed to overcome the massive Covid&nbsp;resurgence by fast-tracking emergency approvals for foreign&nbsp;produced Covid&nbsp;vaccines. Here is why this is a game changer -:
<ul>
<li>Vaccines that have already got emergency usage&nbsp;authorisation from US, EU,&nbsp; UK, WHO will get automatic approval for "emergency use" in India.</li>
<li>The govt will then give final approval for wider roll out after assessing the first 100 people vaccinated over 7 days.</li>
<li>This takes away delays faced or hurdles due to insistence of local trials.</li>
<li>Opens the door for faster roll-out of all foreign produced vaccines such as J&amp;J, Pfizer and more.</li>
