Covid update: Doctor urges patients with comorbidities to be very careful in coming days
As the covid situation in China becomes a global concern, patients with comorbidities in India have been urged to be very careful. There has been a sudden spurt in Covid cases in China and some other countries.
“Patients with comorbidities need to be very careful in the coming days as there is a surge in COVID. Regularly check your glucose levels and blood pressure and follow COVID protocol using masks, hand sanitisers and social distancing,” said Dr. Rajeev Bansal, a senior consultant physician, told news agency ANI.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will review the situation related to COVID-19 in the country at a high-level meeting today, ANI reported.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had reviewed the situation on Wednesday and asked people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour, including wearing masks in crowded places, and getting vaccinated.
Dr Anil Goyal of Indian Medical Association said that there is no need for panic. “Since 95% of the population is immunised, the nation won’t be placed under lockdown,” said Dr Anil Goyal of Indian Medical Association (IMA). India must return to COVID’s fundamentals – testing, treating, tracing, he added.
Many states are holding meeting today regarding Covid protocols and precautionary measures to be taken.
