The Pandemic
Amid a rat race to bring out a Covid-19 vaccine, a couple of clinical trials by Bharat Biotech and Zydus Cadila were kicked off this week. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Patna, testing Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, has injected nine participants with the inactivated vaccine. It is unclear how many participants Zydus has vaccinated even though the firm is targeting a sample size of 1,048 participants.
In a first, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has confirmed the community spread of the virus, saying that the infection is spreading very fast in the coastal areas of Thiruvananthapuram. In view of the grim situation, he added, a complete lockdown would be in force in the affected coastal areas from Saturday, with the affected zones brought under police control.
