Of these, 11.99 lakh beneficiaries were given the first shot of the two-dose regime. About 2.92 lakh healthcare and frontline workers received the second dose, the ministry added. The second dose of COVID-19 vaccination started for beneficiaries who have completed 28 days since receiving the first shot. The emergency use approval granted by the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) accords a window of four to six weeks for the second dose to be administered.<strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal'><o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p><p style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:24.0pt;background:white'><strong><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm'>Multilayer masks most effective at preventing aerosol generation, says IISc study</span></strong><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0cm;line-height:24.0pt;background:white;outline: 0px;box-sizing: border-box'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Multilayer masks are most effective at preventing aerosol generation, says a new study conducted by a team led by researchers at Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The study was carried out in collaboration with scientists in UC San Diego and University of Toronto Engineering. According to IISc, when a person coughs, large droplets (>200 microns) hit the inner surface of a mask at a high speed, penetrate the mask fabric and break up or "atomise" into smaller droplets, which have a greater chance of aerosolisation and thereby carrying viruses like SARS-CoV-2 with them. Using a high-speed camera, the team closely tracked individual cough-like droplets impinging on single, double and multi-layered masks, and noted the size distribution of the "daughter" droplets generated after penetration through the mask fabric, an IISc statement said on Saturday.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p
