New Delhi:
In response to rising Covid-19 cases, the Delhi government has advised hospitals to prepare ahead by ensuring beds, oxygen supplies, and medical equipment are available.
Experts reassure there is no immediate cause for concern as no new variants of Covid-19 appear to be more transmissible or severe.
The health department is also requiring adequate testing, particularly for 5% of Influenza-like illness (ILI) cases and 100% of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) cases.
All positive Covid samples should be sent to Lok Nayak Hospital for genome sequencing. Hospitals are instructed to enforce respiratory etiquette by wearing masks.
Significantly, 11.4% of infections have surged to 11.4% in Hong Kong compared to 1.7% in mid-March.
According to Dr. Sandeep Budhiraja from Max Healthcare, India could see an increase in flu-like cases, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance.
At this stage, mass advisories are unnecessary as India has not reported any significant increase in cases.
