The Centre has issued guidelines to help people identify whether they are being given authentic vaccines against Covid-19, days after the World Health Organization (WHO) said it has identified counterfeit versions of Covishield in South-East Asia and Africa, reports said on Sunday. India is administering the Serum Institute of India’s (SII) Covishield, Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin and the Russian vaccine Sputnik V to those eligible during the ongoing vaccination drive in the country. According to reports, the Centre has shared a list of parameters based on their label, colour and other details to identify the authenticity of the Covid vaccines being used in the country.

According to the Union ministry of health and family welfare, 684.6 million vaccine doses against Covid-19 have been administered so far in the country. “With the administration of 71,61,760 vaccine doses in the last 24 hours, India’s COVID-19 vaccination coverage has surpassed the cumulative figure of 68.46 Crore (68,46,69,521) on Sunday,” the health ministry said.

Here are the various parameters to identify if a Covid-19 vaccine is original:

How to check whether the Covishield vaccine is original?

* The SII product’s label shade is dark green and the colour of the aluminium flip-off seal is dark green.

*The brand name with the trademark is mentioned on the original vaccine.

*The lettering is printed in special white ink to be more clear and readable.

* The text font of the Generic name is in un-bold

* Overprinted with “CGS NOT FOR SALE”.

* The SII logo is printed at a unique angle and position which can be identified by only a select few who are aware of the exact details.

* The lettering is printed in special white ink to be more clear and readable.

* The entire label has been given a special honeycomb effect, which is visible only at a specific angle.

*The honeycomb design has been altered slightly at strategic locations and certain additional special elements added to the texture design. They are not visible to people in general but those who know about the subtle changes can easily check and verify the authenticity of the label and vial.

How to check Covaxin’s authenticity?

* There is an invisible UV helix or a DNA-like structure on the Covaxin label. It is only visible under UV light

* The micro text hidden in the label claims Dots, which is written as Covaxin

* There is a green foil effect in X of Covaxin.

* There is a holographic effect on Covaxin

How to find out if Sputnik V vaccine is not fake?

* There are different labels for the two bulk manufacturing sites where the Russian Covid-19 vaccine is produced. All other information and design are the same except the manufacturer’s name.

* The English label is available only on the front and back of the carton of 5 ampoule pack for all the imported products so far. All other sides, including the primary label on the vaccine ampoule, is in Russian script.

Ashwini Vaishnaw, the new information and technology minister debuted on Koo on Sunday and his first post on the social media platform was on the recently introduced IT rules which, he said, are “empowering”. The minister said he reviewed the implementation and the compliance of the Information Technology rules 2021 with minister of state Rajeev Chandrasekhar. “These guidelines are empowering and protecting users and will ensure a safer and responsible social media ecosystem in India,” the minister posted

The message comes as Twitter India on Sunday inched towards fully complying with the I-T rules by appointing Vinay Prakash as the resident grievance officer for India.

 

Ashwini Vaishnaw@ashwinivaishnaw

Reviewed the implementation and compliance of Information Technology Rules, 2021 along with my colleague Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar Ji. These guidelines are empowering and protecting users and will ensure a safer and responsible social media ecosystem in India.

 

After months of conflict with the government over these new IT rules, which came into effect on May 26, Twitter, which has lost its status of an intermediary in the country, has submitted the first compliance report in which it said it has taken action against 133 posts and suspended over 18,000 accounts. Facebook and Google have already released their compliance report according to the new IT rules.

The ‘Black Fungus’ also known as Mucormycosis has taken several lives in the country. The fungus is on a major surge since the coronavirus outbreak. As many as 90 people died due to this virus in Maharashtra, reported Rajesh Tope on Wednesday. Along with the news he also notified about the indiscriminate use of steroids to treat the Covid-19 patients.

He told the reporters,”So far, 90 people have died due to mucormycosis in Maharashtra. It is serious… It should not  be taken lightly. Indiscrimate use of steroids to treat COVID patients should be avoided”.

Mr. Tope said that the factors like severe diabetes and suppression of the immune system also leads to catching the virus. The medical experts say that steroids are also a major factor in spreading of the virus.

Mr. Tope added,”The Maharashtra government is prepared to tackle it and has prepared nine-page guidelines for doctors who treat mucormycosis patients. The guidelines also suggest preventive measures such as use of sterilised and distilled water in humidifiers of oxygen  supplying machines (in Covid-19 wards)”.

As compared to the first wave, the cases of Black Fungus has rapidly increased in the second wave.

A day after the Union Home Ministry issued a new set of guidelines for ‘Unlock 4.0’, allowing significant relaxations, several states started coming up with their own set of rules for September. While Haryana withdrew its order to keep markets in urban areas closed on Monday and Tuesday, Tamil Nadu announced scrapping of e-pass system within districts and allowed government and private offices to function with 100 per cent staff.

The Centre gave nod for the eventual resumption of metro services from September 7, and the return of up to 50 per cent of teaching and non-teaching staff to schools outside containment zones from September 21. In the fourth stage of the government’s phase-wise post-coronavirus lockdown reopening, states will no longer be permitted to impose lockdowns outside containment zones without the Centre’s permission.

Given that most states and union territories were not in favour of reopening schools and colleges, the MHA announced that they will remain closed till September 30. However, from September 21, a limited number of teaching and non-teaching staff may be called back to schools outside containment zones, and senior students of classes 9 to 12 will be permitted to visit their classrooms to clear their doubts.

What’s getting Unlocked?

  • Metro services will resume from September 7, 2020 in a graded manner.
  • Social/ academic/ sports/ entertainment/ cultural/ religious/ political functions and other congregations will be permitted with a ceiling of 100 people. However, strict measures — including mandatory wearing of face masks, thermal scanning provisions, and social distancing will have to be observed.
  • Open-air theatres will be allowed to reopen from September 21, 2020
  • States/Union Territories may permit up to 50% of teaching and non-teaching staff to return to schools from September 21 for online teaching-related work in areas outside containment zones.
  • Students from classes 9 to 12 from schools outside containment zones will be permitted to visit their faculty to clear doubts on a voluntary basis from September 21.
  • No restrictions will be imposed on the inter-state and intra-state movement of people and goods. No separate permission or e-permits will be needed for such movement.

What’s remains Locked ?

  • Schools, colleges, educational and coaching institutions will remain closed for students till September 30. Online/distance learning will continue.
  • States and union territories will not be permitted to enforce lockdowns outside containment zones without the Centre’s permission.
  • Cinema halls, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres and other such places will remain closed.
  • International air travel, other than what is permitted by MHA, remains suspended.
  • Elderly people over the age of 65 and young children below 10 years of age, have been advised to stay at home. They should venture out only for essential and health purposes, the MHA has said.

Unlock 4: Haryana guidelines

The Haryana government on Sunday withdrew its order to keep markets in urban areas closed on Monday and Tuesday. Haryana’s home-cum-health minister Anil Vij announced on Sunday that the state government is withdrawing its lockdown order in view of the Unlock 4.0 guidelines that forbid any form of lockdown, barring in containment zones, without permission from the Centre.

Unlock 4: Tamil Nadu guidelines

The Tamil Nadu government has announced several relaxations starting September, including no ‘complete lockdown’ across the state, scrapping of e-pass system within districts and opening of all places of worship. However, an e-pass is compulsory for those coming in from other states via train, flight or road.

  • All places of worship to be allowed to open until 8 PM
  • District buses (both Pvt and govt) and buses in Chennai to resume from September 1
  • Shopping malls, large stores, factories and IT parks, private sector and government offices can function with 100% staff.
  • Tea stalls and restaurants can function from 6 am-8 pm. They can remain open until 9 PM for takeaways
  • Clubs, hotels that offer accommodation, resorts, etc can function with adequate SOPs
  • All parks and playgrounds will be open to physical and sports training. Spectators won’t be allowed in playgrounds
  • Entry for tourists to Hill stations such as Yercaud and Nilgiris, Kodaikanal based on e-pass from District Collector
  • Cinema shooting with 75 persons on set
  • Limited inter-state trains until Sept 15; Chennai airport would be allowed to receive 50 flights a day
