00:00Current scenario is that some cases have increased in some parts, some countries, first south, west and now some cases in other countries.
00:13But if I tell you this, there is no need to worry about it.
00:20When we look at some cases, when we look at some cases, we look at three things.
00:27First, how much transmission is happening, how much faster cases are happening.
00:31Second, what is the immunity that we are avoiding?
00:36The first thing that our natural immunity has been created and the vaccines have been created.
00:40In other words, the vaccine's immunity has been evaded.
00:44The variants of South and West India have been sequenced.
00:51According to these variants, these variants are not severe.
00:55If we talk about current situation,
00:57if you think that it is a worrisome situation,
01:01we will talk about testing,
01:04the cases have been increased.
01:06What is the current scenario?
01:09The current scenario is that some cases have been increased.
01:14Some parts, some countries,
01:17first south, west,
01:19and now some cases in other countries.
01:22But if I tell you,
01:26there is no need to worry about it.
01:29There is no need to be vigilant.
01:31There is no need to be vigilant.
01:33When we look at some cases,
01:35we see a case in the case,
01:36we see three things on our mind.
01:39First,
01:40how much transmission is happening?
01:42How much faster cases are happening?
01:44Second,
01:45what is the immunity that we avoid?
01:48What is the first thing that we have become natural immunity?
01:51The vaccines have been created.
01:53In other words,
01:54the vaccine's immunity is very evaded.
01:57The third thing that is the most important thing,
01:59is the most important thing.
02:00It is not the most important thing.
02:01What is the most important thing about it?
02:02What is the most important thing?
02:03So,
02:06the final thing about it is you should look more powerful.
02:07The first thing about it is not actually tyres.
02:08But the first thing about it is,
02:09we would take care of it.
02:10We're going to take care of it.
02:11What are the same people who have got away,
02:12most people who have them.
02:13The first thing about it is not,
02:14the last few things where we are not going to be aware.
02:15So,
02:16this is a major thing.
02:17in the case of asymptomatic or mild symptoms that are not.
02:25So, these three things we have seen before.
02:29It is necessary to worry.
02:31So, this is under monitoring.
02:35This time there is no concern.
02:39But we are monitoring it.
02:43So, we are preparing for all the things that we need.
02:47We have sequencing.
02:49We want to see which variant is coming.
02:53It is not a different variant.
02:55So, the variants from South and West India,
02:59which we have sequenced some variants,
03:02compared to these variants,
03:04they are not severe.
03:06From the old Omicron variants.
03:08These are the four variants.
03:10The LF7 series.
03:12XFG series.
03:14JN1 series.
03:16And NB1.8.1.
03:19In that order.
03:21These are the ones we have.
03:23Now, the rest of the samples we have sequenced.
03:27And the next results will come in one day.
03:30So, we will know that there is no new variant.
03:34It is not a variant.
03:35But the most important thing is monitoring.
03:37What is the severity?
03:39What is the severity?
03:41What is the severity?
03:43How many severe cases are happening?
03:45And at this time,
03:47severe cases are very low.
03:50So, I would like to say,
03:53I would like to say,
03:54the first question was that
03:55if we were to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try the other.
