Los Angeles, Dec 11 (TIWN) Actress Ariel Winter, who gained fame when she began playing Alex Dunphy in 'Modern Family' at the age of 11, has said that just two years after she began appearing on television screens, she was receiving hate messages from people who body-shamed her.

The world health body so far has been vehemently opposing booster doses for the general population, while endorsing it for those with serious immuno-suppression.  In a press briefing on COVID-19 outbreak status in the country amid the fresh threat posed by the Omicron variant, top officials said that there are nearly 25-26 districts in the country reporting COVID test positivity rate of 5% or above.  Mostly in these districts, there are also nearly 70 clusters of infections—but V K Paul, member (health) Niti Aayog said that evidence so far suggests that they are largely driven by delta.  Paul meanwhile also said that India’s expert panel on immunization has not given a recommendation on introducing COVID-19 booster doses yet, adding that the country’s policy on the booster doses will be “aligned with the WHO’s”.
