New Delhi/Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will on Tuesday attend a virtual meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the strategy to distribute Covid-19 vaccine, for which the entire country is waiting, media reports said.

Reportedly, Modi will hold a meeting with Chief Ministers and other representatives of 36 states and union territories over the vaccine distribution.

Though Banerjee is out of Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal, she will attend the virtual meeting.

The CM on Sunday left Kolkata for Bankura where she will hold administrative meetings on Monday.

On Sunday, West Bengal added over 3,500 fresh Covid-19 cases to take the tally to 4,56,361.

While the Oxford vaccine is in the final phase of trial, Bharat Biotech in November started the phase three trial of India's first vaccine known as Covaxin.
