Novel Coronavirus

The film documents the dark lockdown phase in the country when state borders were sealed for fear of the spread of the novel coronavirus

New intelligence has prompted the Energy Department to conclude that an accidental laboratory leak in China most likely caused the novel coronavirus pandemic, reported The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Just when the world was starting to believe that the novel coronavirus pandemic, the deadly new Omicron BF.7 strain reinforced the home truth that the world has certainly not seen the last of the pandemic.

In 2020, we knew very little about the novel virus that was to become known as COVID-19. Now, as we enter 2023, a search of Google Scholar produces around five million results containing the term.

Funeral homes across China's Covid-hit capital Beijing, a city of 22 million, scrambled on Saturday to keep up with calls for funeral and cremation services as workers and drivers testing positive for the novel coronavirus called in sick.

More than 75 per cent of those who succumbed to the novel coronavirus infection in the current wave in Delhi were unvaccinated, Health Minister Satyendra Jain said on Friday.

A whopping 1,700 Delhi Police personnel have tested positive for the novel coronavirus infection since January 1, officials said on Wednesday, adding that a special camp has been organised for police headquarters staffers to administer booster doses.

Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus infection.

Five more cases of Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus were found in Karnataka taking the total to 19.

Sky news said on Tuesday that British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab had misspoken when he said 250 people were in hospital with the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus.

The United States praised South Africa Saturday for quickly identifying the new Covid strain called Omicron and sharing this information with the world -- a barely veiled slap at China's handling of the original outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

India recorded 10,423 new cases of the novel coronavirus, the lowest in 259 days, along with 443 deaths due to the infection in the past 24 hours.

Vaccine stockpiling by nations may strongly impact global trajectories of Covid case numbers, and increase the potential emergence of novel variants of the virus, a modelling study has warned.

American visitors trickled across the Canada-US border on Monday, cheering the reopening of the world's longest land boundary 17 months after all non-essential travel was halted to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Scientists from India, China, Russia and Brazil will carry out genomic sequencing of the novel coronavirus, and also studies on epidemiology and mathematical modelling of the COVID-19 pandemic, a statement said on Friday.
