The suspension may last until the end of April. Which will also affect the distribution of the Covax vaccine.
Corona infection is on the rise in India. The country will start vaccinating people over the age of 45 from April 1 to prevent a second wave. The Government of India has decided to suspend the export of Covishield vaccine of Serum Institute to meet the domestic demand.
The suspension of vaccine exports until the end of April will also affect the supply of serum vaccines to 64 low-income countries under the World Health Organization's vaccine distribution project CoVAX. It will be too late to get vaccinated in different African countries including Kenya. Meanwhile, India has postponed shipments to Brazil, the United Kingdom, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, a new 'double mutant' type of corona has spread to 18 states in India, which is capable of changing its form twice. The country is concerned about the spread of this highly contagious type. In Maharashtra alone, 206 new species have been identified so far. Varieties from the United Kingdom, Brazil, and South Africa have also spread in the country.
In India, after more than 5 months, more than 50,000 have been identified in a single day. The total death toll in Brazil has exceeded 3 million. The country has become the epicenter of corona infection in the world. Belgium has announced a lockdown from Saturday. Chancellor Angela Merkel, on the other hand, lifted it after announcing a strict lockdown during the Easter holidays in Germany in the face of opposition.
