After a day of record-low daily caseloads, India has seen a dramatic 40% spike in the last 24 hours. In the last 24 hours, 35,178 new Covid-19 infections have been reported, according to the daily health bulletin. There has also been a modest increase in Covid fatalities.

According to government data, 440 Indians died as a result of Covid-related problems. At 97.52 percent, the recovery rate remains strong. This is India's highest level since March of last year.

According to the ICMR, 17,97,559 tests were performed on August 17. The testing has been expanded now, as evidenced by the day-to-day comparison. This also demonstrates that the small number of cases must be viewed through the lens of testing.

If we test more people and still obtain fewer positive instances, we can be more confident that the virus's transmissibility rate is decreasing.

In terms of daily coronavirus vaccination, India has achieved yet another milestone. Despite the fact that Covid shots are still falling short of the goal of 1 crore doses every day, the huge increase is well worth applauding. Should India, on the other hand, be content with the fact that all Covid statistics show a downward trend? Not at all.

First and foremost, we must consider the countries that have vaccinated more than half of their adult population but are still experiencing a Covid outbreak. Take, for example, Israel and Ireland. While hospitalizations are at an all-time low thanks to the vaccine, the return of mask mandates and other restrictions in Israel shows that even a rapid pace of mass immunisation will not be enough to change the virus's path.

Furthermore, due to the virus's continual and steady evolution, existing vaccinations may not be sufficient. The present doses being used in India have demonstrated to be effective against the Delta variation; however, the threat of another mutation eluding vaccine protection is extremely real.

So, if you're wondering how to get out, let's go back to the beginning. Those who have received the Covid shot, like everyone else, must adopt corona-appropriate behaviour.
