The highest impact in terms of patient footfalls was during the first wave, on account of fear of the virus as it was a novel one, and treatment protocols were still not clear. After the second peak of COVID eased a few months ago, the healthcare sector has seen a quick recovery, said Mr. Dilip Jose, MD & CEO, Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

Dr H Sudarshan Ballal, As you rightly pointed out it is a new variant and we do not have enough information. From whatever we know, it is extremely infectious, far more infectious than the Delta variant. However, until now, from what we have seen, we have learned that it is an extremely mild disease.

The fact that most of the students who got infected were fully vaccinated, also suggests that there is an immune escape phenomenon, and the virus could have escaped the immunity produced by the vaccines. The silver lining in this episode is that in most people, the disease was mild or asymptomatic. A new strain of the virus B 1.1.529 has been detected in South Africa and a few other countries. A large number of mutations in the spike protein could potentially be more infectious and escape the immune effects of the vaccine. That’s exactly why this is also a matter of grave concern, and it is very essential to do a genomic analysis of these cases to further define the virus, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal

Dr H Sudarshan Ballal said, “As far as we know, the new variant of the virus is very infectious and might escape the immune phenomenon of the vaccine. We need to be alert, but there is certainly no cause for alarm since all these viruses spread through the air, and the best way to prevent this is through masking, ventilated spaces, social distancing, and avoiding crowds”.

Talking about this new virus - B.1.1.529, or the new variant, I want to narrate a small incidence that happened in Karnataka. There was a cluster of almost about 200 cases in a medical college in Karnataka. The interesting fact is that all of them had attended an event for the fresh medical graduates in a single hall, and almost all of them were vaccinated, either a single or double dose. This suggests to me that this virus is very infectious and there is probably an immune escape phenomenon, as many of them were already vaccinated, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt Ltd.
