AIIMS' latest COVID research updates

• A study conducted jointly by researchers at IIT-Bhubaneswar and the AIIMS has shown that the spread of COVID-19 may pick up the pace during peak monsoon and winter with a fall in the mercury. The rainfall, decrease in temperatures and cooling of the atmosphere coupled with progression towards winter may environmentally favour the spread of COVID-19 in the country. 
• AIIMS Nagpur partnered with IIT Jodhpur and Indian Insitute of Information Technology (IIIT) Nagpur to design and develop a smart wristband for effectively tracking and monitoring COVID-19 patients and possible cases.
