India has so far been able to stave off community transmission of Covid-19, says Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, expressing the hope that “behavioural changes" brought about by the infection could become the “new normal” for a healthy society after the pandemic abates. The nation in a post-coronavirus future could well look back on the pandemic period as a “blessing in disguise” if Indians imbibe hand, respiratory and environmental hygiene and practise it in their everyday lives, the minister said.
