AHMEDABAD: The third wave of Covid-19 in Gujarat and India, largely caused by the dominant Omicron variant, is advancing swiftly with a high number of daily cases.
Even those who were infected earlier or are fully vaccinated are getting caught in the wave due to the immune-escape nature of the variant. But what exactly is the reason behind low severity and mortality? One of the answers could be found in the fact that the T-cells or long-term memory cells of the body’s immune system are better equipped to tackle Covid, said scientific experts participating in a session on ‘T-cell immunity and Covid-19’.
