'Not Practical': Cambridge Immunology Prof Questions Centre's Covid Guidelines | Karan Thapar

One of Cambridge University’s highly regarded scientists has raised serious questions about the Indian government’s new Covid guidelines announced by the Principal Scientific Advisor’s Office on thursday the 20th. Prof. Lalita Ramakrishnan, Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, raised questions about three particular aspects of the recent Covid guidelines – first, the government’s reiteration that aerosols can carry the infection up to 10 metres, second, the stress on frequently cleaning door handles, light switches, tables and chairs and, third, the need for double masking. In all three cases her views clash fairly sharply with the government’s recent guidelines.
