Sikkim on Friday released an order announcing markets, shops and commercial establishments to function as normal. The order said that there would be no further restrictions on social, political, religious & sports related gatherings. The Madhya Pradesh government too decided to lift all Covid curbs except for night curfew. Schools and colleges have been reopened at full strength and ban on all events including social, commercial, cultural, political, religious etc. has been fully lifted.

A US based has also pointed out that the efficacy of the Pfizer/Moderna booster dose wanes in four months all signalling that it is not yet time to lower the guards.

Meanwhile, the Union Minister of State for Health, Bharati Pravin Pawar at the Lok Sabha called reports by an international magazine that India’s Covid mortalities are more than that with the official records as ‘purely speculative’ and made use of ‘non-validated methodology’ to coming to this conclusion and lacked backing of peer-reviewed scientific data.

The national capital for the first time in 2022, recorded fewer than 1,000 cases in the last 24 hours. A total of 977 people tested positive and the positivity rate was at 1.73 percent on Friday. With declining cases all eyes are on further relaxing Covid-restrictions in Delhi and lifting night curfew.

Coronavirus India Live News: Media report on excess Covid deaths in India ‘purely speculative’: Govt

The government told Lok Sabha on Friday that the report by an international magazine claiming that India’s COVID-19 deaths were more than the number officially recorded was “purely speculative”. In written reply to a question, Union Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar said the international magazine in its report in January 2022 speculated excess deaths than the official number of COVID-19 fatalities. “The report was purely speculative that made use of non-validated methodology for calculating estimates of excess mortality and lacked any peer reviewed scientific data,” she said. The report by Project: Jeevan Raksha released in October 2021 suffered from a similar lack of scientific rigour, the minister said. – PTI
