The Pandemic
Ahmedabad-based pharma firm Zydus Cadila expects to complete the first two phases of human clinical trials for its Covid-19 vaccine candidate, ‘ZyCov-D’, in the next three months, according to its chairman. The trials will begin this month in over 1,000 patients across multiple sites.
The JEE (Main) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) have been delayed further by a month due to the unabated rise in coronavirus cases. The JEE Main will now be held over six days between September 1 and September 6. NEET, meant for undergraduate medical programmes, will be held on September 13. JEE (Advanced) will be held on September 27.
In order to ease the pressure on hospitals amid a Covid spike, the Karnataka government on Friday approved introduction of home isolation, provided the houses of asymptomatic patients have a room for isolation with an attached bathroom. “Only those who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic shall be allowed to be in isolation at home,” according to the SOPs released by the health department.
