The rampage of the second wave of the coronavirus continues in India with over 4,000 people losing their lives for a second straight day. While the numbers of new infections dwindled slightly with 3.62 lakh cases reported by the official data. As the situation shows some improvement in urban areas, the rural population is suffering silently. While the lockdowns have helped the states to bring down the Covid numbers, the Centre is trying to rework the national vaccination plan. Now there are reports coming in that the govt has been recommended to increase the time gap between two doses of Covishield. Though a study has also said that delaying the second dose will help in lessening the chances of death, in India the delay is being seen as the govt's attempt to cover the maximum population while struggling with the vaccine shortage.
