In this issue

COVID-19 second wave and India´s rivers health
According to the Central Pollution Control Board of India, around 38000 million L/day of sewage is generated. However, only 12000 million L/day is treated. This means sewage as much as 26000 million L/day is discharged without proer treatment into rivers, groundwater or lakes. The untreated wastewater is a major source of water pollution in India . The discharge of COVID-19-infected patients' faeces and urine may be the primary root of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to wastewater and freshwater
In this issue, we have also explore other interesting topics like CANDIDIASIS: Management Through Probiotics, ancient coronavirus, Production and Delivery of Probiotics etc.
