India continues to be in third place among the worst-hit nations in the coronavirus pandemic. US leads the chart with the maximum number of cases and casualties due to the coronavirus pandemic. As the entire world grapples with COVID-19, countries are working on the coronavirus vaccine. On Thursday, the World Health Organization, however, said the vaccine approved by Russia this week is not among the nine that it considers in the advanced stages of testing. "We don't have sufficient information at this point to make a judgment" on the Russia vaccine, said Dr Bruce Aylward, a senior adviser to WHO's director-general.
