India could see more than 403,000 Covid-19 total deaths and nearly 50 million total cases by June 11 this year, according to a projection model from the Indian Institute of Science.
In the event that the Indian government imposes a 15-day lockdown, India could bring the number of deaths down to fewer than 300,000 in the same time frame, and will see a total of fewer than 30 million cases since the pandemic started. That number falls further in case of a 21-day and 30-day lockdown.

Canada announced Wednesday that it has authorized the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 12 to 15.
Clinical trial results of Pfizer/BioNTech s Covid-19 vaccine showed its efficacy is 100% and it is well tolerated in youths ages 12 to 15, the company said.
“The most commonly reported side effects were temporary and mild, like a sore arm, chills or fever,” said Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada’s chief medical advisor.
With Covid-19 numbers once again rising ominously, thats a message more people might need to heed.. Since the body requires time to mount an immune response after taking the vaccine, it is important to remember that vaccination is just part of the strategy to combat Covid-19, say experts.
