Coronavirus Briefing Newsletter – Times of India

Thank you for subscribing to The Corona Letter!

When we sent out the first edition of this newsletter on March 20, 2020, we had a clear mandate to bring the latest, verified information on Covid-19 to keep you safe.

Cases in India had begun to rise from under 10 to about 20 a day and we had seen three deaths due to Covid-19 by then. Though the World Health Organisation had declared it a global pandemic a week earlier, there was more panic than information about the virus and how it spreads. We hoped to fill that gap. Our motto: Caution Yes, Panic No.

Over the next couple of months as the crisis unfolded, we realised how crucial the role of reliable information was. We decoded the virus, its variants, vaccines, symptoms, new research and more, and your feedback and suggestions helped us get better at it every day.

While the virus is still floating around, most of us are fully vaccinated (many have taken the booster dose as well) and more aware of the virus and what to expect. As the spread of the virus eases, we have decided to make The Corona Letter a weekly, instead of a daily, offering. The newsletter will now reach your inbox every Sunday.

Our mandate remains the same. The message for you stays the same too be prepared, stay safe. And remember, its not over, yet.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions to make ourselves more relevant to you.
