"Covid Situation In India Better Than Elsewhere": Vaccine Maker Adar Poonawalla

India was in a better position to tackle Covid crisis because of the government, healthcare workers and a common goal to tame the virus, Adar Poonawalla said.

Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla on Sunday praised India's fight against the Covid pandemic, saying the government and the healthcare workers contributed largely to tackling the pandemic in the country.

He made the remark at the inauguration ceremony of a Super Speciality Hospital in Pune.

"Everyone is looking at India today, our Covid management is one of the major reasons why. It was all possible because of the government, healthcare workers and a common goal to tame the virus," he said.

"I have been all over the world but the Covid situation in India is better than anywhere else. I would urge everyone to stay in India," Mr Poonawalla added.
