NEW DELHI : As India completed two years since the outbreak of Covid-19, vaccines and following Covid Appropriate Behaviour remain the most effective weapons against the deadly virus.
Though a number of drugs and other methods have been tried, no definitive treatment has emerged as yet. The country saw its first case of Covid-19 on January 30, 2020, when a third-year medical student from Wuhan University tested positive.
She had returned home following semester holidays. Since then, India has witnessed three waves of COVID-19, though the line of treatment has remained the same throughout.
Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Saturday said irrespective of the COVID-19 variants, 'Test-Track-Treat-Vaccinate and Adherence to COVID Appropriate Behaviour' continue to remain the tested strategy for COVID-19 management.
