how the country 0 corporate policy has gift to poor families apart and the impact that's had her father is missing her, grow up. and she's in a thing the care a daughter should get from her gad. the lack of a father's love had left its mark. ah i'm british manager, welcome to the w news asia. glad you could join us. india, i seeing a gradual optic in covert cases over the past month, around $20000.00 new cases have been registered on some days. and as cases have gone up, so have government efforts to provide booster shots to those eligible currently those above 18 years of age. but as d w, when you are told to report, take up remains sluggish. ah, this ma holla, our community clinic is the primary health center which provides free basic healthcare. it's one of the hundreds of centers in the capital city of delhi. mostly located in low income are left developed neighborhoods during daily's coven beefs these clinics, plead a crucial role in breathing awareness and providing timely diagnosis. now some of these centers are set to provide co 19 vaccine shots. dr. got her as art works in this more looking at, nor where my lip. i wish i knew people used to feel a little hassle when they had to line up at big center. so hospitals to get the vaccine shots that are done. this move of getting shots at mcculloch lennox like will be beneficial, and we will see more and more people come forward as now, and will be much easier to access lamar over the past few weeks, have seen a steady uptick in the number of court cases in the country while, according to the health ministry, a large majority of the population had received due jobs. it's the number of booster shots administered which has them concerned. according to government data, a shocking 92 percent of people who are eligible for co 19 both to vaccine have not taken the shots yet to increase this number. the government is taking different measures including making the booster shots available for free to all age groups. for a limited period of time, dr. k, she not ready says it's not just about the ease of getting a booster shot. it is also a perception that the army chron variant of the virus that will not result in a severe disease. and a sense of cynicism that the vaccine won't really prevent infection from happening in the 1st place when you, but he adds, it's important to keep encouraging people to get the card jackson plus, as it can prevent a large number of infections from turning severe. if the severity of infection is low, then the amount of virus discharge is going to be much less. because the duration of her list is also going to be much less. so you boys had less of a threat to others, especially elderly, while notable people in your household of your family. even though most of the cases happening now, i might to moderate the fact that people are getting infected despite being vaccinated or being infected in the past. is proof enough that they need all the protection they can have against this virus? india pandemic is nowhere near okay. and let's get more on this from dr. launcelot pinto. he's a consultant, pulmonologist and epidemiologist at the p d into the hospital in mom by doctor print or some 92 percent of people eligible to get booster shots. haven't taken them. are people in india no longer worried about over 90 hi variation. thank you for having me on the show. i think one of the factors that has led to a little bit of complacency is that we had a, an only current surge in january. we had another one in, by a couple of months ago. and despite that, the hospitalization rates did not go up. most of the illnesses were managed at home and seem to be mild. i think this is leading people into a sense of security that is behind us. and i think while it's reassuring that the hospitalization rate hasn't been high, i think it's still important to emphasize that individual, especially those who are immunocompromised, those who are elderly, must take the booster because it definitely protects you from severe infection or that having been served you have numbers of covered cases which are certainly rising, but generally remained around the 20000 to day mark. i know that mark has been hit there. is there's a cause of concern or is this a manageable situation? i think even gauging the numbers is become difficult because a lot of individuals are testing at home and these don't get reflected in the real numbers are the only thing that's been reassuring over the past few months is that the hospitalization rate has been searched. so i think that's the reassuring part to the fact that infections continue to remain higher on b as a cause for concern, especially in it. because those individuals who are, who have reasons to be vulnerable, are exposed to individuals who are infected. and that can potentially lead to a surgeon hospitalizations at any time. so i think it's important not to drop down our god, but at the same time, not to be bad at night. and which radians are active in india now and the other as deadly as the delta variant, which caused a deadly 2nd wave of infections last year. setting the indian now sar scooby to genomics consortium of the inside dog has been reporting that most of the agents are currently seen are still are still sub the dns or mac runs. if you're not seeing any new media period, the present one which led to a bit of concern was the be a $2.00. but fortunately, although it does seem to be more infectious, and more transmissible, there's nothing to believe yet that it causes more severe disease. and you know, so we still need to watch out for transmissible indian increase in the number of infections. but hopefully again, you know, it wouldn't lead to moderate to severe infections, necessities in hospitalization, or increasing a lot on the health care system. if there is the pattern that we are seeing, that the virus is mutating. but as it mutates, it gets less deadly. so to speak, but more infectious i think it's also a reflection of both the video itself, possibly becoming less vigilant. but also the fact that a significant proportion of the population has either been infected over the past couple of years, some more than once. or has now received 2 doses of the vaccination which does seem to offer a reasonable amount of protection against moderate to severe disease. so fortunately, i think the combination of both is what's protecting us from severe disease. and let's hope it stays that way. and not went on, i remember we spoke a lot last year in the deadly wave of fur covered infections when you and your staff are particularly under pressure and doctors all across the country, i have to ask you, have you since then seen any positive changes on the ground in terms of say, how india manages infections or healthcare set up people's attitudes. for instance, i think people are more sensitized to respiratory infections. now for example, we're seeing a surgeon influence are right now on the city of mom by and that's typical of the monsoons and monson related illnesses. i think people do tend to interact with the health care system at an earlier stage. as soon as they have symptoms. people are more open to vaccinations in general to protect themselves from possibly respiratory and other infections. and i think hopefully this will lead to a better name shift in the way individuals try to prevent disease rather than reactor disease, which has typically been that in an india parking lots a lot printer from the hindu to hospital. and mumbo was a pleasure talking to you. thank you so much for joining us today. thank you. finish. a quick look now, or the other developments in the cover to pandemic across a show. south korea's defense minister is holding crisis talks with top commanders over an outbreak of coven 19 in the military. more than $11000.00 personnel are currently on the treatment. the spread of infections, good hamper joint exercises with the us land for the end of august. a covered lockdown imposed over the weekend and join us coastal high non province has stranded around 80000 tourists authorities and the result city of santa reported more than 800 cases in the week before travel restrictions came into force to rest. so want to leave must show 5 negative p c r tests over 7 days. and hong kong will reduce its mandatory quarantine to 3 days for overseas arrivals . followed by 4 days of medical surveillance possible to be completed at home. the current warranty period for international travelers is one week at a designated hotel, hong kong either john lee said, analysis of scientific evidence prompted the james roy. what yet, holly?
