Cases started to rise again for the fifth consecutive day, with a positivity rate of 20.75 percent.
Nearly 60 percent of Indian patients who lost their lives in the third wave of the pandemic were either unvaccinated or vaccinated with just a first dose.
Also yesterday 270 thousand new doses of vaccine were administered, which have brought the total vaccinations carried out to date in the country to 1 billion 622 million, with 74 percent of the adult population already immunized with two doses.
Sources from the Ministry of Health told the Ani news agency that, according to their forecasts, the third wave should begin to decline from February 15, both because the new infections have already stabilized in some metropolises and large states, and for the government effort to continue the vaccination campaign.
