New variants not reason for rise in Covid cases: NITI Aayog member V K Paul

The government is still trying to figure out the cause behind the surge in Covid-19 cases in states like Maharashtra and Kerala, but has ruled out any of the variants as being responsible for the spike. “There is no scientific reason to believe they (variants) are responsible for the surge.This is a work in progress and eminent scientists are watching the situation,” said V K Paul, member (health) of NITI Aayog. Kerala and Maharashtra account for 75 per cent of the total active cases in the country. The daily case trajectory is also seeing a surge in Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. In Maharashtra, the daily case count on Tuesday went up from around 3,600 on February 13 to over 5,200.
