Over 87,000 people across the country have been reported Covid positive after the second dose of vaccination, while 46 per cent of those cases are from Kerala, top Health Ministry sources have told NDTV. Kerala reported close to 80,000 Covid cases after the first dose of vaccination, while 40,000 people were reported infected after the second dose, the sources said. The spike in breakthrough infections in the state, which has been witnessing a surge in daily cases, has become a cause of concern for the Union Health Ministry. Some 200 samples of breakthrough infections have been put through genomic sequence but no mutation or variant has been found so far, the sources added.
