Has Community Transmission Of Omicron Begun? Fresh Worry Amid Covid Surge
The critical R or rate of reproduction factor, which defines the spread of Covid, is above 1 in India now. This means that each person with Covid is infecting at least one other person and this is a huge worry. Amid fears over a third wave, the big question is whether there is now open community transmission of the easy-to-get Omicron variant of Covid. We also talk to the CMD of Optimus Pharma about the next potential game-changer in the fight against Covid - pills such as Merck's Molnupiravir, which are being made as generics here. In this interview, we discuss the A to Z of the pills which will be available in a week.
