Doctors have advised citizens that if the nose shutdown, vomiting, stomach problems and sore throat are more than 4 days, then do the RT-PCR test.
The government and health department have appealed to the people to be cautious but do not panic, because all medical facilities are already ready.
The government has appealed to the public to strictly follow the Kovid rules. Wearing masks, maintaining social distance and avoiding crowded places is said to be necessary. At the same time, emphasis is being laid on extending the vaccination campaign rapidly so that the spread of the virus can be prevented.
Experts have warned that this new phase of corona infection reminds us of the previous Kovid outbreak, when the virus without vigilance took many lives and economic activities came to a standstill. Therefore, people will have to take precautions from now so that history is not repeated and infection can be controlled.
The earlier round of Korona had a profound impact on the health system, economic condition and lifestyle of the people. Pressure increased on hospitals, employment was affected and people’s mental health also weakened. Therefore, with the increase in infection at present, both the government and the public will have to take action by learning from earlier experiences.
