COVID-19 vaccination sessions would not be scheduled on this Saturday and Sunday because of IT system transition from Co-WIN 1.0 to Co-WIN 2.0, the Union Health Ministry said on Friday.
The country’s total active COVID caseload was 1,55,986 on Friday and this was largely due to the upsurge in daily new cases in some States/UTs, it stated.
