The Pandemic
The number of daily deaths from Covid-19 in Maharashtra has been declining for over a fortnight now, government data analysed by The Indian Express show.This declining trend contrasts with the continuing rising trend in the number of daily new Covid cases, and could indicate the impact of several relatively recent policy interventions in the battle against the pandemic.
World Health Organization chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan feels slightly optimistic that a vaccine can be developed in 12-18 months as over 200 vaccine candidates are at different stages of development and 15 are in human clinical trials. Such an enterprise may require funding of up to $18.1 billion to deliver two billion doses by the end of 2021, she says.
With economic activity picking up and people returning to big cities from their home states, the Railways have decided to run more trains on selected routes to ease the rush. However, full-fledged resumption of services may not be possible in the near future, Chairman, Railway Board, V K Yadav told reporters on Friday.
Similarly, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has also decided to push for air travel by allowing domestic airlines to operate up to 45 per cent of their pre-lockdown scheduled capacity, compared with 30-35 per cent earlier. Even though international flights have been suspended till July 15, a few may be allowed on selected routes on case to case basis.
