New Delhi. With the second wave of Corona in India (Covid Second Wave), the new variant of Corona in Singapore has now disturbed the world. The Singapore government has said that the B.1.617 variant of Corona is having a greater impact on children. Singapore's Health Minister Ong Ye Kung has said that children are becoming more victims of the new variant of Corona, B.1.617. It is being said that this variant of Corona is spreading very fast. Singapore has imposed strict restrictions on people gathering and public activities after the Kovid-19 case escalated.

However, there is no definite data in Singapore as to how many children have fallen victim to this new variant. The Health Minister says that there has been a spurt in new cases in the country, because of this it is very important to stop the movement of people. Explain that there has been worldwide praise for Singapore's Corona Management. So far, 61 thousand cases of corona have been reported in the country. Most of these also came from the dormitory of foreign laborers. Nearly 20 percent of the country's population has received both doses of the Corona vaccine. Vaccination is being done in the country through Moderna and Pfizer's vaccine.


Discussion broke out in India after Delhi CM's statement

In fact, on Tuesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that due to Singapore variant, a third wave of Corona could come in India. He has appealed to the central government to ban the movement from Singapore. When asked questions regarding this virus, Kovid National Task Force member Dr. VK Paul has said that we are examining the reports coming on the variant regarding Kovid infection in children. The relief is that the infection is not serious in them. We are watching it.

Singapore government worried, schools are being closed

The number of new cases in Singapore has been almost nil during the past months. Comparatively fewer cases have been reported in South Asian countries. But now the increased cases of infection at the local level have worried the government of the country. So now restrictions are being imposed in other places including schools. Since the first wave of Corona last year in the country, there is limited relaxation in public places.
