Reasonably Good Amount Of Immunity In Population: AIIMS Director On ICMR's National Serosurvey

All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) director Dr Randeep Guleria has said that the behaviour of SAR-CoV-2, the Covid-19 causing virus, cannot be predicted but the possibility of the virus mutating in a dramatic manner in the coming months is low and added that there was "reasonably good" amount of immunity in the population.

Dr Guleria also referred to the fourth round of national serosurvey conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in which it was found that about 67.6 per cent of Indians have Covid antibodies.

"As per the serosurvey, there is reasonably good amount of immunity in the population," he said.

"With this, I think we can delay and also flatten the third wave," he added.
