In an effort to revive its pandemic battered tourism sector, the Kerala government rolled out a bio-bubble system on August 10, which is expected to insulate tourists from the viral infection.

While India’s daily COVID-19 cases were at a 147-day low as only a little under 29,000 new cases were recorded, China saw a spike in cases at 180 infections being reported on August 10.

In this episode of the COVID Fight Podcast, CNBC-TV18's Kanishka Sarkar brings the top developments on the pandemic from India and around the world.

She talks about an analysis according to which the global eradication of COVID-19 is more feasible than it is for polio.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has decided to ban train travel for unvaccinated people from October. China, on the other hand, has reported the highest single-day rise since the current outbreak began in July.
