COVID-19 in India

Despite the dip in coronavirus cases, Indians must not drop their guard (“New COVID-19 cases in India fall below 10,000 for the fourth time in February”, Gulf News, February 16). People are tired of sitting at home for so long. The government has reopened cinemas and malls, which are the main attractions for many people to go out. Compared to other countries, India has seen a drastic recovery. The cases are negligible fewer compared to November. However, expert opinions differ on whether herd immunity has been achieved. With vaccines having arrived and a sizeable number of people getting inoculated, perhaps we stand a chance to get rid of this pandemic as soon as possible.
