The doctors said that the woman, a resident of Manesar, had taken both. Vaccination The shots — her second dose of Covaxin about four months ago — but had concomitant illnesses such as high blood pressure and interstitial lung disease.

The woman suffered a heart attack on Monday. Doctors said that he was given CPR, but he could not be revived.
“She had taken her second dose of Covaxin on August 1. None of his contacts tested positive, but he had fever and cough. He may have contracted Covid from some family members as they were going out for work,” said a doctor.
On November 18, a 75-year-old woman admitted to a private hospital in the city died of Kovid-19. she was also fully vaccinated and took her second Cowishield jab about three months ago. She had concomitant diseases like asthma, diabetes and hypertension.

He contracted COVID on November 3 from his family members, who recovered at home.
Although Covid hit the city in March last year, the first death related to the infection occurred in May itself – four people died that month. However, the highest number of deaths occurred during the height of the second wave in May this year, when 343 Covid patients died. A month ago there were 112 deaths.
During September and October this year, when there was a significant drop in cases, Gurugram did not report any Covid deaths. A total of 926 people have died after testing positive so far, of which 610 had comorbidities – 267 had diabetes, 146 had hypertension, 85 had kidney disease and 112 had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Gurugram Chief Medical Officer Virendra Yadav warned people against stepping out.
“Even those who have been fully vaccinated need to follow all the COVID protocols. If their family members are stepping out, they should definitely wear masks and sanitize themselves,” he said.
