On Tuesday, while addressing the press conference, the joint secretary of the Union Ministry of health and family welfare, Mr. Law Agarwal said that there is a noticeable increase in the Covid-19 cases across the globe and that remains the “area of concern”. The pandemic is “far from over” If measured from the global perspective, he further added.
Citing on data on Worldometer, the Centre pointed out that as of July 26th, as many as 5,27,828 new Covid-19 cases are being reported across the globe on a daily basis. Although the number is less in comparison to April and January this year when the global daily case count was 9,03,306 and 8,40,131.
“This is an indication for us that we still cannot relax and must continue to strictly follow Covid management rules in order to contain the virus, we may be tired, but the virus is not,” the government said.
According to WHO reports, Delta variant accounts for over 75% of the Covid-19 cases across the world, including Great Britain, Russia, Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Singapore and India, among others.
