China News Service, April 27. According to foreign media reports on the 27th, two people familiar with the matter said that in recent weeks, two local employees of the U.S. Embassy in India have died of the new crown pneumonia virus, and more than 100 others. The new crown test result is positive.
According to the report, the source did not provide more details on these confirmed and dead cases.
The source pointed out that the local American diplomats were only able to start the vaccination two weeks ago.
However, in the past six weeks, in the face of the worsening trend of the new crown epidemic in India, local diplomats have kept urging the State Council to distribute vaccines as soon as possible.
The report quoted sources as saying that some embassies and consulate staff were very frustrated because they did not get the exact information on when they could be vaccinated.
The source also said, “For the two employees who died, the vaccine came too late...it was too bad.”
On April 26, local time, in a rickshaw on the side of the road in Ghazabad, India, a patient inhaled oxygen with the help of others.
According to reports, India has confirmed more than 300,000 cases for 6 consecutive days, and the cumulative number of cases has exceeded 17.6 million; many hospitals have almost exhausted their beds, medicines and oxygen.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on April 26 that the severity of India’s new crown epidemic was “heartbreaking” and the WHO was sending more medical supplies to India.
In a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the same day, US President Biden said that the United States will work closely with India in the fight against the new crown epidemic.
The White House pointed out in the statement that the United States will provide India with a variety of assistance including oxygen supply systems, vaccine materials, and therapeutic drugs.
However, because the United States banned the export of vaccine raw materials, India has been out of supply for several months, and the "aid" from the United States can only be said to be late.
