'Our immunity robust... but...': Ex-AIIMS director to HT amid China Covid surge
Hindustan TimesEven as the Covid-19 cases are witnessing a sharp rise in China, India might not see a similar situation owing to high rate of natural infection and vaccine coverage, Dr Randeep Guleria, former director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences said on Tuesday. Just days after taking charge as the chairperson of the Institute of Internal Medicine and Respiratory and Sleep Medicine and Director at Medanta Hospital, Guleria spoke to the Hindustan Times. We had an early lockdown, even though many people argued that it was premature, but that helped create awareness and gave us time to prepare. But now, nearly three years into the pandemic, we are in a situation where there has been high natural infection—many people have been infected multiple times—and the coverage of vaccines is also high.
