Meet confirms Russia’s isolation again: Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has said that the leaders' declaration at the G20 Summit does not boost Moscow diplomatically, as it reflects Russia's isolation and the majority of G20 members have denounced the war in Ukraine. Macron also stated that the G20 is not the forum for making diplomatic progress on the Ukraine conflict, as it is primarily focused on economic and financial issues. He added that the G20 supports a just and lasting peace, despite disagreements among member states on the Ukraine issue.

Document vaccination status when testing for Covid-19: ICMR to labs

The Indian Council of Medical Research has directed hospitals and diagnostic centres to document the vaccination status of individuals being tested for Covid-19 infections. The data will be collected for further analysis, including breakthrough infections after two doses of vaccination. The advisory also dissuades needless testing, and recommends testing for symptomatic cases, at-risk contacts of confirmed cases and in hospitals for severe acute respiratory infection. Testing should not delay emergency procedures, and patients should not be referred to other facilities for lack of a testing facility.
