From April 1st, anybody above 45 years can get vaccinated, announces Modi govt

The Narendra Modi government has changed the vaccination rules that will come into force from April 1st. This comes on a day when India detected around 40,000 new Covid-19 infections in the last 24 hours. In case you are eager to celebrate this minor dip, hold your horses! There are several factors that are adding to the present worry of the second wave of the coronavirus. First is the decreasing of the doubling time. The latest health data shows that on March 1st, the doubling time stood at 504.4 days. Whereas, as of today, that doubling time has decreased to just 202.3 days. As the self-explanatory term suggests, the number of cases are being doubled in a lesser period of time.
