Government says Remdesivir production ‘adequate’

<p>
<strong>Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the production of the life-saving drug Remdesivir is 'adequate' and as a precautionary measure its export has been banned.</strong></p>
<p>
Shah said on Sunday, "The production of Remdisivir is adequate. We have banned export as precautionary but in panic people are buying in bulk which is leading to a shortage."<br />
<br />
"I appeal to the people to buy it when only the doctor prescribes," he added.<br />
<br />
The response comes after many state governments, including Maharashtra have complained about the shortage of the injections.<br />
<br />
India on Sunday reported 2,61,500 fresh Covid cases, the highest single-day spike ever, pushing the country's overall Covid tally to 1,47,88,109, according to the Health Ministry data.</p>
