MP में कोरोना केस कम होने की ये है सच्चाई: RT-PCR से ज्यादा रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट हो रहे, जानिए कौन-सा टेस्ट ज्यादा भरोसेमंद

चैतन्य भारत न्यूज मध्यप्रदेश में मंगलवार को कोरोना के सबसे कम केस दर्ज किए गए। 17 मई को रिकॉर्ड 69,454 सैंपल टेस्ट हुए और इसमें से 5412 की रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई। यह संख्या पिछले 37 दिनों में सबसे कम है। 7 दिन पहले संक्रमण की दर 13% से ज्यादा थी जो अब घट कर 8% पर आ गई है। इस ग��रावट की वजह संक्रमण कम होना नहीं बल्कि सरकार की टेस्टिंग स्ट्रैटजी है। रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट बढ़े जानकारी के मुताबिक, सरकार रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट (RAT) पर भरोसा दिखा रही है, जिस पर विशेषज्ञों को नहीं है। सोमवार के आंकड़ों में राज्य में रैपिड एंटीजन और RT-PCR टेस्ट का अनुपात 59:41 हो गया है, जबकि सरकार की गाइडलाइन के मुताबिक, यह 30:70 का होना चाहिए। सरकार ने RT-PCR घटाकर रैपिड टेस्ट बढ़ा दिए हैं, जिसका 'रिकॉर्ड' अलग ही तरीके से दर्ज होता है। 50% से ज्यादा रैपिड टेस्ट हुए स्वास्थ्य विभाग के सूत्रों का कहना है कि, 11 मई को प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने राज्यों से कहा था कि वे सैंपल टेस्ट बढ़ाएं। इसके बाद से मध्यप्रदेश में कोरोना टेस्ट के आंकड़े हर दिन बढ़ते गए। सरकारी आंकड़े के अनुसार, 50% से ज्यादा रैपिड टेस्ट करने से अचानक पॉजिटिविटी रेट घटना शुरू हो गया। प्रदेश में 17 मई को 40,985 रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट हुए, जिसमें 1296 (3%) संक्रमित मिले। जबकि 28,559 RT-PCR में 14% सैंपल की रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई। कौन-सा टेस्ट ज्यादा भरोसेमंद? कोरोना टेस्ट के लिए RT-PCR टेस्ट के नतीजे सबसे ज्यादा भरोसेमंद हैं। भले ही इसकी रिपोर्ट आने में वक्त लगता है, लेकिन इसे गोल्ड स्टैंडर्ड माना जाता है। इसके अलावा RAT भी होता है, जिसके नतीजे तुरंत पता चल जाते हैं। अगर RAT रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव है, तो कोरोना है। अगर रैट रिपोर्ट निगेटिव होने के बावजूद लक्षण दिख रहे हैं, तो RT-PCR करवाना ही चाहिए। Read the full article

India’s Covid vaccination coverage crossed 165.6 crore: Government

India’s COVID-19 vaccination coverage has crossed 165.6 crore with more than 53 lakh vaccine doses administered on Saturday, the Union Health Ministry said.

The daily vaccination tally is expected to increase with the compilation of the final reports for the day by late tonight, the ministry said.

Cumulatively, 53,96,51,188 first doses have been administered to those in the 18-44 age group and 40,19,58,479 second doses have been given in the same age group since the start of phase-3 of the vaccination drive, according to health ministry data. – PTI

Britain to offer COVID vaccinations to vulnerable children aged 5-11

Britain will this week begin offering vaccinations to children aged between five and 11 who are most at risk from coronavirus, the state-run National Health Service said on Sunday.

Britain has been slower than some other countries in offering the shots to 5-11 year olds, and is not planning to vaccinate the age group more broadly unlike countries such as the United States and Israel.

NHS England said children in the cohort who were in a clinical risk group or who live with someone who is immunosuppressed would be able to get a first COVID-19 shot, in line with advice issued last month by the Joint Committee on Vaccine and Immunisation (JCVI). – Reuters

  Lung abnormalities found in long COVID patients with breathlessness

Lung abnormalities have been discovered in long COVID patients suffering from breathlessness, according to a study that raises the possibility that coronavirus may cause hidden damage to the lungs that is not detected with routine tests.

Researchers used a novel xenon gas scan method to pick up lung abnormalities in coronavirus patients who have not been hospitalised but still experience breathlessness.

Breathlessness is a symptom in most long COVID patients, but it has been unclear whether this is linked to other factors such as changes in breathing patterns, tiredness, or something more fundamental.

We still need to be vigilant, says Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Saturday said that though active COVID-19 cases and positivity rate had fallen in most of the States in the last two weeks, “we still need to be vigilant and not lower our guard.’’

Speaking at a virtual meeting with health ministers and senior officials of Odisha, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and West Bengal on Saturday he urged them to monitorthe casepositivity rate onadaily basis and increase the RT-PCRtesting rates,as most of the states exhibited lower share of the test.

The States were advised to keep a close watch on the number of hospitalisation and deaths.“It is important to analyse at the State-level the proportion of vaccinated and unvaccinated of the hospitalised cases, the deaths and those on ventilators and oxygen support”, Mr. Mandaviya advised.

Kashmir traders warn of adverse impact of lockdown, seek stimulus

Facing prolonged spells of lockdowns since 2019, traders in Kashmir resort to lay-offs, sale of manufacturing units and switch to businesses of daily consumables to survive the nose-diving incomes, as the authorities continue to impose a 64-hour weekend lockdown.There are growing voices among the traders’ body on Saturday which seek a review of the lockdown practice.

Niyaz Ahmad, a resident of the old city’s Rajouri Kadal, has shut his high-end kitchenware shop and sells eatables in a mobile van in the interiors of Srinagar city.

“People seem to have stopped spending on luxury items. I sell eatables and plastic items in the interiors of the city where police crackdown on shopkeepers is less. I have two daughters, one in college and another about to get married later this year. If the lockdown continues, I am not sure if I can pay the college fee and have my daughter’s wedding,” Mr. Ahmad said.

Risk persists even though COVID-19 cases starting to plateau in parts of India: WHO

Even though some cities or states in India may be beginning to see plateauing of COVID-19 cases, the risk persists and focus must be on reducing transmission and implementing situation-specific measures, senior WHO official Poonam Khetrapal Singh said.

The Health Ministry said on Thursday that early indications of COVID cases plateauing have been reported in certain geographies in the country but the trend needs to be observed.

Responding to a question that coronavirus cases have started plateauing in India, Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region said the risk of COVID-19 remains high and no country, irrespective of their current transmission scenario, is “out of the woods” yet.

    Faster spread of Omicron is not due to higher viral load

The Omicron variant became the dominant variant infecting both vaccinated and the unvaccinated persons in many countries just one month after the World Health Organization designated it a variant of concern on November 26, 2021. Two months since, Omicron has become the dominant variant in every country that is witnessing a new wave. In short, Omicron has replaced the Delta variant, which was considered highly transmissive in almost every country across the world.

One of the defining features of a new variant is the higher transmissibility than the existing variant. If the Delta variant was found to be highly transmissible when compared with the Alpha variant, the Omicron variant has been found to be extremely transmissive when compared with the Delta variant.

  India

India’s active COVID-19 caseload hovers around 20 lakh on January 30, 2022

The country recorded 2,30,920 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday. The total number of infections has reached 4.08 crore, and the active cases are around the 20 lakh mark.

The figures are based on the State bulletins released until 10 p.m. on Saturday. However, Ladakh, Tripura, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand and Lakshadweep had not yet released data for the day.

Kerala recorded 50,812 infections on Saturday, followed by Karnataka (33,337) and Maharashtra (27,971).

Two years on, Indian students awaiting their return to China still in limbo

Two years on after thousands of Indian medical students saw their education in China abruptly put on hold amid the COVID-19 outbreak, students are still in the dark about when they can return and are growing increasingly desperate about their future.

Students from half a dozen medical colleges in China, who have remained in India over the past two years, told The Hindu in interviews that they have been given no information about when they can return and that their online classes have left them unprepared as some face imminent graduation having missed out on practical training that is a crucial component of medical education.

“Some of us are going to graduate with degrees that are only on paper, while we have wasted our family’s savings,” said one student enrolled in a college in Tianjin. The students The Hindu spoke to were all enrolled in the 45 universities authorised by China to offer MBBS degrees to foreign students taught in English. There are around 23,000 Indian medical students enrolled in Chinese programmes. The students interviewed are not being named as they were concerned about jeopardising their return to their universities.

Long wait for home collection of samples in Telangana

An increasing number of people falling sick with symptoms of COVID-19 has led to a huge demand for RT-PCR tests. Collection of samples from home is taking longer. So is processing them, and sending results to those tested. A similar situation with regard to private lab services was witnessed during the earlier waves.

People who opt for home collection of samples are unable get a slot on the same day. Private health facilities are making reports available only after 24 to 48 hours. Besides, they are collecting samples only till afternoon or early evening, and not later.

With this, people with COVID symptoms relying on private labs for home sample collection are forced to wait for a day or two to know their infection status.

  Tamil Nadu

First dose coverage crosses 90% in Tamil Nadu

The State achieved 90.30% coverage in the first dose of COVID-19 vaccination on Saturday, at the end of the 20th mega camp. As many as 68.66% of beneficiaries have received their second dose, according to health department officials.

A health bulletin said as on date, 26,01,610 beneficiaries amounting to 77.75% of the eligible population in the 15-18 age group, had been vaccinated, while 3,80,570 persons eligible for the precautionary dose (booster) were covered as well.

  Delhi

Reopen gyms, spas, demand owners

Hundreds of gym owners staged a protest outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on Saturday.

They were raising slogans against the Delhi Disaster Management Authority’s (DDMA) decision to keep fitness centres shut despite a decline in COVID-19 cases in the city.

The protesters started their march from Chandgi Ram Akhara to Mr. Kejriwal’s residence but were stopped by the police after a few minutes.

MP: कोरोना जांच के लिए अब अस्पताल और निजी लैब नहीं वसूल पाएंगे ज्यादा पैसे, सरकार ने तय किए दाम

चैतन्य भारत न्यूज मध्यप्रदेश में कोरोना मरीजों के इलाज और कोविड जांच को लेकर हो रही मनमानी पर शिवराज सरकार ने अब लगाम लगा दी है। सरकार ने कोरोना की जांच के लिए दाम तय कर दिए हैं जिससे कि अब निजी अस्पताल और लैब मरीजों से मनमाना पैसा नहीं वसूल सकेंगे। अब 1000 रुपए में होने वाली RT-PCR अब 700 रुपए में होगी। सोमवार को स्वास्थ्य विभाग द्वारा जारी एक आदेश में कोरोना जांच की कीमतें नए सिरे से निर्धारित कर दीं गईं हैं। आदेश के अनुसार, अब RT-PCR टेस्ट केवल 700 रुपए में होगा, जबकि रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट के लिए 300 रुपए देने होंगे। घर पर जांच करवाने पर 200 रुपए अतिरिक्त देने होंगे। इस शुल्क में ट्रांसपोर्ट, पीपीई किट जैसी सभी सुविधाएं शामिल होंगी। अस्पताल या लैब कोई अतिरिक्त शुल्क इसके अलावा नहीं ले सकेंगे। गोपनीय रखी जाएगी सूचना इसके अलावा निजी अस्पतालों और लैब को कोविड-19 की आरटी-पीसीआर जांच एवं रैपिड एंटीजन टेस्ट के संबंध में भारत सरकार और राज्य सरकार एवं आईसीएमआर द्वारा समय-समय पर निर्धारित प्रोटोकॉल एवं गाइडलाइन का पालन करना होगा। आदेश में कहा गया है कि, सेंपल लेते समय संबंधित व्यक्ति का नाम, पूरा पता, वास्तविक मोबाइल नंबर की पूरी सूचना आरटीपीसीआर ऐप पर अपलोड की जाए साथ ही उक्त सूचना गोपनीय रखी जाए। विपक्ष ने उठाया था मुद्दा बता दें क�� एक बार फिर कोरोना मरीजों की संख्या बढ़ने के साथ ही निजी अस्पतालों और लैब की मनमानी बढ़ गई थी। पूर्व मंत्री और कांग्रेस विधायक पीसी शर्मा ने इस पर सवाल उठाया था कि निजी अस्पताल दो लाख तक का पैकेज कोरोना मरीजों से इलाज के नाम पर वसूल रहे हैं। सरकार को इस पर रोक लगानी चाहिए।   Read the full article
