The ICMR, in a statement on Sunday, said the analysis of the second sero survey is in the final stage and its results would be published soon. The analysis would offer a comparison with the results of the first survey.

The Council said it has been sharing the findings of dynamic containment zones from the previous survey to the respective state authorities. The states have also conducted their zone and city-specific surveys. “To further aid in developing state intervention plans following the ICMR survey, states have also conducted their zone/city-specific surveys,” the Council stated.
