New Delhi: The government believes that in the absence of the appropriate vaccine against the Corona epidemic, attempts to develop mass immunity can be fatal in terms of both disease and death. Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar Choubey gave this information to the Rajya Sabha in a written reply to a question.
The question was asked whether the state governments are implementing collective deterrence measures to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic in the country. He said that in the early stages of the Covid-19 epidemic, some countries thought that after the spread of the disease, mass resistance would automatically develop among the people.
But these countries sidelined this strategy after it came to serious consequences in terms of illness and death. Choubey said that in the absence of appropriate vaccines against the Covid-19 pandemic, attempts to develop mass immunity could be fatal in terms of both disease and death.
The Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare said that the Ministry of Health has issued plans, procedures, consultations, and special operational procedures to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic based on a strategy to break the chain of transmission of the coronavirus. In response, he also mentioned the steps taken by the government to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic.
