He was addressing biomedical scientists and clinicians at the 10th annual conference of the Indian Academy of Biomedical Sciences (IABS) at Era’s University on Sunday.
He said that harmful proteins were generated after Delta variant infection in many patients. These proteins had caused irreversible damage to the organs, especially in those with comorbidities. As a result, their existing issues got aggravated.
“It is seen that regular exercise, yoga and a healthy diet can reduce symptoms to a minimum,” said Prof Sharma. He also said that there is no need for a fourth dose of Covid vaccine as the possibility of evolution of dangerous variants like delta is minimal.
