Around 40 crore people are still vulnerable to the virus. The Indian Council of Medical Research had the latest survey in June-July. Addressing a press conference, a senior official said two-thirds or 67.6 percent of India’s population aged above 6 years were found to have SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The govt report says, 85 percent of the surveyed healthcare workers had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, and one-tenth of HCWs were still unvaccinated.

To control the pandemic the govt stressing to check unnecessary religious and political congregations and non-essential travels should be discouraged. “Travel only if fully vaccinated," it said. The ICMR also suggested, “Children can handle viral infection much better as they have a lower number of ace receptors. So once the decision is taken and all the staff vaccinated, it would be wise to open primary schools first".
