Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, India has flattened its COVID19 Curve and 146 districts have no new cases since the last seven days. He added that 18 districts have no new cases since 14 days, six districts since 21 days and 21 districts since the last 28 days.

He added that out of the total active cases, a meagre 0.46 per cent are on ventilators, 2.20 per cent are in ICU and just 3.02 per cent are on oxygen support. Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that 165 cases of UK Variant have been reported so far. They are kept under supervised quarantine and surveillance.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, India has supported other countries with supply of the COVID-19 vaccine during such global public health crisis and trained the personnel of several countries in vaccine administration. He added that by being a 'Mitra' to the global community, India has earned global trust by supplying indigenously made vaccines at this crucial hour.

Jaishankar, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Puri, Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai and Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Mansukh Mandaviya also participated in the meeting.
