COVID-19 cases in India are skyrocketing. Today, India has over 18,601 people who are infected with the novel coronavirus, while 590 people have died as of now due to COVID-19.
Medical authorities have been working tirelessly to find a viable treatment method that can effectively cure COVID-19, eliminating its existence from our nation.
Last week, ICMR authorised the conduction of a clinical trial for plasma therapy against COVID-19 and since then, several medical institutions across the nation have started to implement it for their patients and most of the results have been promising.
What is Plasma Therapy?
Plasma Therapy or convalescent plasma is essentially a procedure where the immunity power gained by a patient after recovering from COVID-19 is harnessed and applied to other infected patients, offering them the immunity to ward off the coronavirus.
