  With so many news headlines focusing on the variants and their potential to prolong the pandemic, it’s no wonder that people have become increasingly concerned that the vaccines won’t work as well against mutations. But infectious disease doctors say that even if antibody levels drop in the months following vaccination, the immune system is complex and robust. We’ll be well protected against variants, they say, with a lower risk for disease, hospitalization, and death. The key question is, just how well do the vaccines work against the variants? According to experts, well enough that vaccinated people don’t need to worry too much about the current known variants. Ziqitza has gone through the data from vaccine clinical trials and real world evidence show that even in the face of variants, the coronavirus vaccines can prevent infection and drastically cut people’s chances of severe disease and hospitalization. As everyone knows, there are two vaccines currently in...

  Strong evidence suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is primarily airborne, what does this mean and can we change the way we protect ourselves? Scientists and medical health practitioners have been highlighting the need to wear masks to contain the spread of coronavirus ever since the pandemic began. A large population does not show symptoms. The asymptomatic people can continue to spread the infection at home, at a faster pace. Dr. Datar, Medical director of Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd stress that even when asymptomatic people are talking, they can spread the infection.That is why we have been seeing entire families, in this wave, turning positive, even when most of them have stayed indoors. So it’s not only imperative to wear mask outdoors but indoors too.   While there have been many cases of people taking this advice for granted and not wearing masks properly (by wearing it below their nose and so on), latest research has established that wearing two tightly-fitted face masks...

      It has been more than a year since the deadly Covid-19 wreaked havoc in India and even after several efforts to contain its spread, the second wave of the virus is currently spreading like wildfire in the nation. Like all other pandemics in the past, a second wave with the Covid-19 was an expected occurrence. But the first wave did give us very important lessons of preventing a second one. Since we did not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. During the second Covid wave, the most common symptoms remain dry cough, fever, loss of taste, and smell, however, there has been evidence of the mutated forms of the virus producing different symptoms and reportedly being more transmissible.   We at Ziqitza have observed in the previous wave, children almost escaped unscathed. Increasing numbers of symptomatic infections in children is another concern in the current wave. This change in the age group of symptomatic infection is also evident because a hig...

     One year into the pandemic, our lives have become more sedentary than ever. Aspects like long working hours, lethargy, poor dietary habits, and no physical activity are pushing people towards a number of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, among others.   These lifestyle diseases can be prevented with help of a strict regime and necessary precautions. As an old phrase says, prevention is better than cure. Likewise, our health is our own responsibility and hence we should keep ourselves updated on what’s going inside our body.

Basis the same, your doctor may suggest less or more time between your regular health checkups.     A sedentary lifestyl...
