with the smugglers, when lion said sadly, what's your story. ready ready he wasn't, i was women, especially and victims of violence. take part and send us your story. he or chain always to understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information this is the dublin years, asia coming up to date, the cobra situation across the region. beginning in india where case numbers are going up and the government is doing what it can to provides booster shots. but take up remains a problem and in china,

how the country 0 corporate policy as gift for families of pause and the impact that's had her father is missing her, grow up. and she's in the thing the care a daughter should get from her dad. the lack of a father's love had left its mark. ah i'm british manager, welcome to d w. news asia. glad you could join us. india, i seeing a gradual optic in covert cases over the past month, around $20000.00 new cases have been registered on some days. and as cases have gone up, so have government efforts to provide booster shots to those eligible currently those above 18 years of age. but as dw, when you are told that he reports take up, remains sluggish. ah, if mahala, our community clinic is

a primary health center which provides free basic healthcare. it's one of the hundreds of centers in the capital city of delhi. mostly located in low income are left developed neighborhoods during dell is called beefs. these clinics plead a crucial role in raising awareness and providing timely diagnosis. now some of the centers are set to provide her with 19 vaccine shots. dr. got her as art works in this movie. luckily, norwood by lip. i wish i knew the people used to feel a little hassled when they had to line up at big centers or hospitals to get their vaccine. shocking done. this move of getting shots at mcculloch lennox. like will be beneficial, and we will see more and more people come forward. us now that will be much easier to access lamar over the past few weeks have seen of teddy uptick in the number of court cases in the country. while according to the health ministry, a large majority of the population had received new jobs. it's the number of

booster shots administered which has them concerned. according to government data, a shocking 92 percent of people who are eligible for corporate 19 both to vaccine have not taken the shots yet to increase this number. the government is taking different measures including making the booster shots available for free to all age groups. for a limited period of time, dr. k, she not ready says it's not just about the ease of getting a booster shot. it is also a perception that the only chron variant of the virus that will not result in a severe disease. and a sense of cynicism that the vaccine won't really prevent infection from happening in the 1st place when you, but he adds, it's important to keep encouraging people to get the jefferson plus, as it can prevent a large number of infections from turning severe. if the severity of infection is low, then the amount of virus discharge is going to be much less because the duration of this is also going to be much less. so you boys less of a threat to others,

especially, and really well, notable people in your household of your family. even though most of the cases happening now, i might to moderate the fact that people are getting infected despite being vaccinated or being infected in the past. is proof enough that they need all the protection they can have against this virus? india found to make is nowhere near over. and let's get more on this from dr. launcelot pinto. he's a consultant pulmonologist, an epidemiologist at the p. d. him to the hospital, him by doctor pinto. some 92 percent of people eligible to get booster shots. haven't taken them off. people in india no longer what a diverse over 19 hi. variation. thank you for having me on the show. i think one of the factors that has led to a little bit of complacency is that we had a, an only current surge in january. we had another one in, by

a couple of months ago. and despite that, the hospitalization rates did not go up. most of the illnesses were managed at home and seem to be mild. i think this is leading people into a sense of security that is behind us. and i think while it's reassuring that the hospitalization rate hasn't been high, i think it's still important to emphasize that individual, especially those who are immunocompromised, those who are elderly, must take the booster because it definitely protects you from severe infection or that having been served you have numbers of covert cases which are steadily rising, but generally remained around the 20000 a day mark. i know that mark has been hit. is this a cause of concern, or is this a manageable situation? i think even gauging the numbers is become difficult because a lot of individuals are testing at home and these don't get reflected in the real numbers are the only thing that's been reassuring over the past few months is that the hospitalization rate has been searched. so i think that's the reassuring part

of the fact that infections continue to remain higher on b as a cause for concern, especially in because those individuals who are, who have reasons to be vulnerable or exposed to individuals who are infected. and that can potentially lead to a certain hospitalizations at any time. so i think it's important not to drop down our god, but at the same time, not to be bad night. and which radians are active in india now and as deadly as the delta variant, which caused the deadly 2nd wave of infections last setting, the indian no, sorry, scooby to genomics consortium of the inside gog has been reporting that most of the agents are currently seen. are still are still sub the dns or mac run, so you're not seeing any new media variant. the present one which led to a bit of concern was the be a $2.00. but fortunately, although it does seem to be more infectious, and more transmissible, there is nothing to believe yet that it causes more severe disease. and you know,

so we still need to watch out for transmissible it in increasing the number of infections. but hopefully again, you know, it wouldn't lead to moderate to severe infections, message dieting hospitalization or increasing a lot on the health care system. if there's a part on that, we're seeing that the virus is mutating. but as it mutates, it gets less deadly. so to speak, but more infectious i think it's also a reflection of both the variance itself, possibly becoming less vigilant, but also the fact that a significant proportion of the population has either been infected over the past couple of years, some more than once, or has now received 2 doses of the vaccination which does seem to offer a reasonable amount of protection against moderate to severe disease. so fortunately, i think the combination of both is what's protecting this from severe disease and let's hope it stays that way. and not winter, i remember we spoke a lot last year during the deadly wave for covert infections when you and your staff are particularly under pressure doctors all across the country. i have to ask

you, have you since then seen any positive changes on the ground in terms of say, how india manages infections or health care set up people's attitudes. for instance, i think people are more sensitized to respiratory infections. now for example, we're seeing a surgeon influence are right now on the city of mom by and that's typical of the monsoons and monson related illnesses. i think people do tend to interact with the health care system at an earlier stage. as soon as they have symptoms. people are more open to vaccinations in general to protect themselves from possibly respiratory and other infections. and i think hopefully this will lead to a better name shift in the way individuals try to prevent disease rather than reactor disease, which is typically been the baton and india talk a lot, a lot printer from the hindu to hospital and mumbo was a pleasure talking to you. thank you so much for joining us today. thank you. finish. a quick look now, or the other developments in the cover to pandemic. across
