Bevco

Thiruvananthapuram: An online payment system is being set up to purchase liquor from Bevco’s liquor stores. Bevco is preparing for the new system in the wake of the controversy over the congestion and large queues in front of outlets during the Covid lockdown. The assessment is that this will help in reducing the congestion in the outlets. If the experiment is successful, the new system will be in place during Onam.

On the Bevco website, you can choose your preferred brand and make an online payment to buy liquor. The website will display the stock and price of each outlet, and payment will be available once you enter the website and select the brand. You can pay using any of the net banking, payment apps, and cards.

The receipt will be received as an SMS on the mobile phone. There will be a separate counter at all Bevco outlets for those who make online payments. Liquor can be purchased by showing the payment receipt at the counter. Bevco’s website is in the process of being updated. In the first phase, the test will be conducted at 9 outlets including Thiruvananthapuram. If successful, an online payment system will be implemented to purchase liquor within a month. The assessment is that when people come to buy liquor with advance payment, the time to select liquor in the shops and the long queue will be reduced.

Argentina wins Copa America after 30 years of misery. The hosts lost to Brazil in a thrilling final.

Argentina’s advantage is to beat their regular opponents on their soil. It is the most important stadium in Argentina since 1993. In the first half, Angel Di Maria’s goal from the Brazilian defense was the angel of victory. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and his team put up an effective defense against the Brazilian attack in the next half.

Angel Di Maria reversed Argentina’s fate in the 22nd minute of the match. De Paul’s beautiful pass was received by Maria through the crease of the Brazilian defense and Maria chipped the ball back into the net. The Brazilian goalkeeper, Ederson, just stared blankly as the ball went down into the net.

In the 51st minute, Richalson shook the net for the Canaries, but the noise subsided as the offside flag was raised. In the 87th minute, Gabriel Barbosa’s volley was blocked by Argentine goalkeeper Amy Martinez. In the 88th minute, Lionel Messi took the lead with the ball and lost the beautiful golden opportunity.

Covid is out of control; Delta variants and lockdown concessions are the main reasons: WHO

Soumya Swaminathan

New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO)’s chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan has said that there is clear evidence that the spread of Covid is not under control. There are no signs of remission. The Delta variant of the disease is spreading rapidly and the lack of vaccination is causing the spread of the disease in most parts of the world.

Soumya Swaminathan shared this information in an interview with international media. Covid figures are rising in five out of six places under the World Health Organization. According to Soumya Swaminathan, the death toll in Africa has risen by 30 to 40 percent in the past two weeks.

‘In the last 24 hours, five lakh new cases have been reported worldwide. The death toll was 9,300. This is not a sign of relapse. ‘ There are four main reasons why Covid proliferation remains strong. One is the delta variant, the second is social interactions, the third is the reduction in lockdown restrictions, and the fourth is the reduction in vaccination.

Delta is by far the most dangerous and fastest-growing variant ever discovered. In the first stage, the disease was confirmed in one to three people, while in the Delta variant is increased to eight.

Many countries around the world have made major relaxations in lockdown controls, and mass exoduses have accelerated the spread of the disease. Soumya Swaminathan said that in many parts of the world, there is still a shortage of oxygen and no hospitals or beds for treatment.

Soumya Swaminathan said covaxin may be approved by the World Health Organization in mid-August and the third phase of testing is a good sign. Covaxin has shown excellent immunity against the first spread of covid. But they said immunity against the Delta variant was low but the vaccine was better.
