Jubilant Life Sciences’ subsidiary Jubilant Generics Ltd has a plant in Nanjangud of Mysuru District. This is the same plant where one Covid19 infected person (P52) was identified, who supposedly infected other 73 people, unknowingly, worked as a carrier of the virus, “Super Spreader.”
After this Nanjangud of Mysuru District was declared as a cluster.

The Karnataka health department was successful in tracing the people infected by P52, but they were not able to identify how P52 got infected.
Even, an investigation was conducted under the supervision of an IAS officer. The report submitted was incomplete and remarks were made, “When we do not exactly know how the disease came to India, what is the point in spending hours on the Nanjangud cluster? The aim should be on how to control the spread of disease and not conduct a probe on the actual source,”

Gilead biopharmaceuticals have a big claim on the Remdesivir drug. Even many other countries have an eye digging into the claims by the company.
Israel has also claimed to have been successful in developing a drug against Coronavirus.
