										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the Davos conference resumes, Oxfam warned that the Covid pandemic has created a new billionaire every 30 hours and that one million people could slip into extreme poverty at the same time. As the global elite gathered in the Swiss mountain refuge for the World Economic Forum after a two-year Covid-induced hiatus, the international charity argued it was time to tax the wealthy to help the less fortunate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oxfam estimates that 263 million people will fall into extreme poverty this year, at a rate of one million every 33 hours, as rising prices add to the Covid issue. In comparison, during the pandemic, 573 people became millionaires, or one every 30 hours.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tamil Nadu government declared the relaxation of all Covid-19-related restrictions that were put in place after COVID-19 outbreaks swept the southern state and the rest of the globe after almost two years. The Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Chennai, has lifted all constraints imposed by the Government of India and the State government to avert COVID-19 occurrences. This is according to the latest statement published by the director-general of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Chennai, dated April 3.</p>
<p>As the COVID-19 conditions have improved significantly across the nation, some states, notably West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Delhi, have opted to relax virus outbreak regulations like as the requirement to use face masks and the prohibition on social events.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A negative RT-PCR result not older than 72 hours has been made mandatory for passengers from seven more countries, including, China and South Africa. The move comes after the discovery of a new Covid variant &#8211; C.1.2 &#8211; which could be more infectious and has shown signs of evading protection provided by vaccines.</p>
<p>While earlier this rule was only applicable for arrivals from the UK, Europe and Middle East, seven more countries &#8211; South Africa, Bangladesh, Botswana, China, Mauritius, New Zealand, Zimbabwe &#8211; have been added to the list today, according to a latest guideline by Ministry of Health.</p>
<p>The new variant was first detected in South Africa in May. It has since been found in China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mauritius, England, New Zealand, Portugal and Switzerland. C.1.2. evolved from C.1., a lineage of the virus that dominated infections in the first wave of the virus in South Africa in mid-2020. It has between 44 and 59 mutations from the original virus detected in Wuhan in China.</p>
<p>As per the new guidelines, only asymptomatic passengers will be allowed to board the flights from India and on arrival, they will again be tested for Covid through RT-PCR test.</p>
<p>The ministry has also asked the states to send a fixed percentage of samples of positive cases among international travellers for genome surveillance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brazilian researchers have found that a molecule in the venom of a type of snake inhibited coronavirus reproduction in monkey cells, a possible first step toward a drug to combat the virus causing COVID-19.</p>
<p>A study published in the scientific journal Molecules this month found that the molecule produced by the jararacussu pit viper inhibited the virus&#8217;s ability to multiply in monkey cells by 75%.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were able to show this component of snake venom was able to inhibit a very important protein from the virus,&#8221; said Rafael Guido, a University of Sao Paulo professor and an author of the study.</p>
