Covid surge. The study report on Covid strain will come out early by next week." While expressing concerns over the steep surge in the Covid-19 infection in the national capital, Dr Kumar said people are not following Covid appropriate behaviour and stated that while the cases are rising, the severity is mild, according to news agency ANI report.
Additionally, he said, “we are not reporting hospitalisation cases because people have taken booster dose as well. However, many people are still not showing much interest in taking booster doses." Chiming in, Dr Nikhil Modi, Senior Pulmonologist at Apollo Hospital in Delhi, said the Covid cases are definitely rising but symptoms are mild.
Taking about the risk to people who have comorbidities, Dr Modi said, "Patients with 80 to 90 years of age with diabetes and other issues have been reporting to us but all of them have mild symptoms," the PTI report said.
Dr Dhiren Gupta, senior consultant at Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has informed that people who don't get tested themselves timely and don't follow Covid-appropriate behaviour land up with trouble. "Some of the people don't follow Covid appropriate behaviour, people get them tested only when they land up in trouble," Dr Gupta said.
