India registered 70,589 new Covid-19 cases, taking the total caseload to 6,145,291. The death toll now stands at 96,351. The Union Health Ministry has launched a web portal that will provide all important information on coronavirus, vaccine development, ongoing clinical trials, and progress made in this area locally and globally. The "vaccine web portal" and the ''National Clinical Registry for Covid-19'' have been developed by ICMR. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare yesterday (28th Sept.2020) said that the first vaccine in India will most likely be available by early 2021. The WHO and its leading partners have agreed to roll out 120 million rapid-diagnostic tests for the coronavirus to help lower- and middle-income countries make up ground in a testing gap with richer countries - even if it's not fully funded yet.
Further to earlier announcement of Serum Institute of India in August of delivering 100 million doses with their global partners, now SII is aiming to produce up to an additional 100 million safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses (total now 200 million doses).
