Recently, Malaysia has reported a 150 percent increase in patient arrivals at its Covid-19 assessment centres as the government speeds up its pace of vaccination in a bid to reach herd immunity by year-end. In India as well, after the unlock phase begins, people are seen roaming in large numbers, keeping social distancing and COVID-19 norms at bay.
