Kochi: Experts say that the number of people who are seriously affected by Covid has reduced, but the deaths due to Covid are widespread all over the world. It’s just that all these deaths are not being reported as being due to covid due to lack of testing as before. In Europe, Singapore and China, the number of Covid-19 cases is increasing.
The increase in the number of Covid patients in Kerala after Onam has come down this month. However, the spread of the disease continues. Apart from this, various types of fever are spreading in the state. Most of the people infected with covid have only symptoms to stay at home. The proportion of serious cases has decreased from last year.
Variants of Omicron are currently circulating. It is a talent that has the power to increase disease transmission in general. However, there is no need to worry. Meanwhile, the National IMA, which conducts research and studies in this regard, said that if the history of the covid infection is examined, there is a strong possibility that a new variant unrelated to Omicron could break out at any time. Kovid Taskforce Co-Chairman and Kerala I.M.A. Research Cell Vice Chairman Dr. Rajeev Jayadevan said. The upcoming variant may not be characteristic of the current Omicron. Therefore, it is not necessary to think that the Covid epidemic is over. It is better for the elderly to stay away from gatherings in crowded closed places. Masks are protective especially indoors. Likewise, social distancing should be followed, he said.
