										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent study by the Indian Council for Medical Research found that &#8220;smart vaccination&#8221; for the pandemic of Covid-19 provides a better option to health than mass immunisation. In a case when there is an inadequate supply of vaccination to cover all priority groups, model predictions imply that everyone above 60 vaccine workers and afterwards persons with co-morbids should receive priority after key employees.</p>
<p>The study reveals that vaccination 60 per cent effectiveness will lower Covid-19&#8217;s peak symptom incidence by 20.6% and overall death by 29.7 per cent for all target categories.</p>
<p>The same infection-preventing vaccination will lower the highest incidence of symptoms by 10.4% and cumulative death by 32.9%, with the capacity to prevent symptoms, rather than infection.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Indian Council of Medical Research,  Revising its strategy for COVID-19 testing, informed on Monday that returnees and migrants who show symptoms for influenza-like illness will be tested for coronavirus infection within seven days of ailment and stressed that no emergency clinical procedure, including deliveries, should be delayed for lack of testing.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ICMR in its revised strategy for coronavirus testing in India also added that all hospitalized patients who develop symptoms for influenza-like illness and frontline workers involved in containment and mitigation of COVID-19 having such signs will also be tested for coronavirus infection through RT-PCR test. Besides, asymptomatic direct and high-risk contacts of a confirmed case are to be tested once between day five and day 10 of coming in contact, the new document stated. Asymptomatic contacts of a confirmed case were being tested once between day five and day 14. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new strategy aims to contain the spread of infection more effectively and to provide a reliable diagnosis to all individuals meeting the inclusion criteria of COVID-19 testing. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The death toll due to COVID-19 rose to 3,029 and the number of cases climbed to 96,169 on Monday, registering an increase of 157 deaths and a record jump of 5,242 cases in 24 hours since Sunday 8 am. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;ILI (  influenza-like illness ) case is defined as one with acute respiratory infection with fever more than or equal to 38 degrees Celsius and cough while a SARI case is defined as one with acute respiratory infection with fever more than or equal to 38 degrees Celsius and cough and requiring hospitalization,&#8221; the ICMR stated.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Till now, people with ILI symptoms living within hotspots or containment zones, patients of <strong>severe acute respiratory infection </strong>(SARI) and symptomatic healthcare workers were being tested for coronavirus infection as per the guidelines. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All asymptomatic individuals with a history of international travel in the last 14 days and all symptomatic contacts of the laboratory-confirmed case were also being tested. </p>
