(AP)While India's coronavirus disease (Covid-19) situation continues to be in control, the worrying rise in infections in Europe, the new global epicentre of the pandemic, has raised fresh concerns. Several European countries have tightened restrictions, with Austria announcing a nationwide lockdown, one of the most dramatic measures in recent months. Germany is the latest European nation to warn about a possible lockdown as vaccination alone has failed to contain the infections. "We are now in a situation - even if this produces a news alert - where we can't rule anything out,” Spahn replied. On Saturday, India’s Covid-19 vaccination coverage has crossed the 116 crore milestone.
