NEW DELHI: Stating that the fight against Covid is at the final stage, Union Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday cautioned against letting the guard down before it is completely over and requested states to enhance the vaccination coverage and motivate the over 12 crore beneficiaries who are due for their second dose to take it.
He also urged states and Union Territories to ensure the entire adult population is administered the first dose during the ongoing “Har Ghar Dastak” campaign.
During a virtual interaction with the health ministers of states and UTs, Mandaviya observed that the fight against COVID-19 is at the final stage, a ministry statement said.
“The two weapons of vaccination and CAB (COVID19-appropriate behavior) will be our greatest defence against it and we should not let our guard down before it is completely over,” he said.
India added 13,091 new infections in a span of 24 hours taking the country’s total tally of COVID-19 cases to 3,44,01,670, while the active cases declined to 1,38,556, the lowest in 266 days, according to the ministry data updated on Thursday.
The death toll climbed to 4,62,189 with 340 fresh fatalities, according to the data updated at 8 am.
The minister stated that at present 79 per cent of the adult population has got the first dose of vaccine and 38 per cent has also received the second dose.
