Two years on, vaccines and following protocols remain most effective weapons against COVID-19
Highlights India completes two years since the outbreak of Covid was first reported India has witnessed three waves of COVID-19 since Jan 2020 No definitive treatment has emerged as yet As India completed two years since the outbreak of COVID-19, vaccines and following COVID Appropriate Behaviour remain the most effective weapons against the deadly virus. Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Saturday said irrespective of the COVID-19 variants, 'Test-Track-Treat-Vaccinate and Adherence to COVID Appropriate Behaviour' continue to remain the tested strategy for COVID-19 management. The country tried treatments such as plasma therapy, Remdesivir, DRDO's anti-Covid drug 2-deoxy-D-glucose and most recently Molnupiravir, but there has been no definitive medicine to cure COVID-19 patients. Dr Shuchin Bajaj, Founder Director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, said AYUSH has an important role in countering cold-related diseases and not just COVID-19.
