Are there more Covid deaths in India than there are new cases? What the Most Recent Government Data Shows

Currently, the nation's 7-day moving average of fatalities is 49, up from just 10 in mid-June. In contrast, the same period's 7-day moving average of new cases grew from 9,353 to 19,306. The number of Covid-19 cases in India increased to 4,39,38,764 with 18,313 new cases recorded in a single day, the union health ministry stated on Wednesday, even if the number of active cases decreased to 1,45,026. According to data from the ministry updated at 8 am, the number of deaths caused by the disease increased to 5,26,110 with 57 more fatalities (including elderly ones not counted earlier). The fact that deaths related to Covid are still increasing, despite the fact that active cases have decreased in India for the third day running, seems important. The nation's death rate has reached a 7-day moving average of 49. Mid-June, there were only ten. In contrast, during the same time period, the 7-day moving average of new cases rose from 9,353 to 19,306. Therefore, it appears that Covid deaths in the nation are increasing more quickly than new cases. 19 deaths were reported in Kerala, 12 in Maharashtra, seven in West Bengal, four in Meghalaya, two each in Bihar, Delhi, and Odisha, and one each in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Nagaland, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, and Chandigarh  were among the 57 fatalities reported in the 24-hour period. The ministry reported that the national Covid-19 recovery rate is at 98.47%, while the active cases make up 0.34 percent of the entire caseload. In just 24 hours, there has been a decrease of 2,486 cases in the active Covid caseload, it continued. According to the data, the weekly positivity rate was 4.57 percent and the daily positivity rate was 4.31 percent. In the nation, 4,25,337 Covid tests have been performed in the past 24 hours, for a total of 87.36 crore tests overall. The number of patients who have recovered from the illness has increased to 4,32,67,571, and the case fatality rate was 1.2%, according to the data. The ministry reports that 202.79 crore. The countrywide Covid-19 vaccination campaign has so far provided vaccine doses. The number of Covid cases filed in India reached the 20 lakh mark on August 7, 2020, the 30 lakh mark on August 23, 2020, the 40 lakh mark on September 5, 2020, the 50 lakh mark on September 16, 2020, the 60 lakh mark on September 28, 2020, the 70 lakh mark on October 11, 2020, the 80 lakh mark on October 29, 2020, the 90 lakh mark on November 20, 2020, and the 1 crore mark on December 19, 2020.

Advice from Indian Government

All Apple Watch owners using WatchOS versions earlier than 8.7 have received advice from the Indian government. Due to a number of security flaws in the outdated versions of the operating system, Apple Watch devices running earlier versions of the WatchOS are vulnerable to hacking and other security issues.

The Apple Watch ecosystem contains significant vulnerabilities, according to CERT-In, India's cyber-security organisation. The flaws could make it possible for hackers to get beyond the security protections put in place by the firm and included in Apple's WatchOS.

Users should update their Watch OS to the most recent security updates released by the firm, according to a CERT-In advisory. Versions of WatchOS before version 8.7 have been known to have the vulnerabilities.

Bypassing security measures on the device and running arbitrary code are both potential outcomes of this vulnerability for attackers. As a result, attackers may be able to remotely control your device via this security hole. These instructions can include strategies for getting over the watch's security measures, giving the attackers access to sensitive data stored on the wristwatch.

According to the CERT-In vulnerability notice, older Apple Watch models with insecure software are vulnerable. These include, among others, "buffer overflow in the AppleAVD component; an authorisation issue in the AppleMobileFileIntegrity component; out-of-bounds write in the Audio, ICU, and WebKit components; type confusion in the Multi-Touch component; multiple out-of-bounds write; and memory corruption in the GPU drivers component."

The attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code and get around security measures on the targeted machine if these vulnerabilities are successfully exploited, the note continued.

For compatible models, which include the Apple Watch Series 3 and later, Apple has already published solutions for these security flaws in the most recent edition of its watchOS software.

Users must make sure their Apple Watch has at least a 50% battery and is connected to a WiFi network before updating it. On the watch, go to Settings and select General/Software Update. Users must follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade their devices if an update is available.
