New Delhi, 24th January 2022: The onset of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019 has affected millions of lives across the globe. Since the beginning of the year, India has observed a sharp rise in Covid-19 infection cases. India is grappling with the third wave of the pandemic. The surge in cases comes with the spread of the new Omicron variant, more transmissible than the Delta variant, which had triggered the second wave. As per reports, In the week ending January 9, India recorded 6,38,872 cases of Covid-19. A significant increase of more than six times – from 1,02,330 cases recorded between December 27 and January 2.
The number of active cases has grown multi-fold as the new wave of the pandemic gripped the nation. The situation over the past two and a half years has created a shock and awe among all. Undoubtedly, it has put a toll on the health infrastructure. This has led healthcare companies to come up with disruptive innovations in the field of pharmacy.

As suggested by doctors, N95 masks provide the most effective and comprehensive protection against COVID-19.
The pharma company launched a drug, ‘Betakind’ with the potential to fight COVID-19 and other respiratory viral infections. The Betakind Gargle is used as a mouthwash to kill germs that cause infections of the mouth. It also relieves dryness of the mouth and sore throat.
