Delhi sero-survey results show India hurtling towards herd immunity: Experts
Nearly a quarter of people surveyed for sero-prevalence in Delhi have been infected by the coronavirus, the Union Health Ministry said Tuesday, while a top official said the study also showed the remaining three-fourth population were still vulnerable and called for continuing strict containment measures.
The sero-survey results came on a day the daily cases again surpassed the 1,000- mark. On Monday, Delhi reported less than 1,000 COVID-19 cases for the first time in seven weeks.
So, these are the questions we are raising:
Has India kept Covid mortality rate under check?
23% Delhi exposed to Covid: What does it mean?
Is the national capital past its peak?
And responding to these questions, experts were of the view that Delhi sero-survey's results show how India is hurtling towards herd immunity.
