Thiruvananthapuram: Health Minister Veena George has warned the state government to be extra vigilant in the event of an omecron confirmation. While Omikron has been confirmed in other countries, the state has been cautious. The activities were coordinated by regular meetings under the leadership of the Health Department.

Special attention was paid from the airport as per the central guidelines. The aim is to detect the early stages of the disease, ensure expert treatment for them and thereby prevent the spread of the disease. Those who are positive from foreign countries are transferred to special wards in hospitals and those who are negative from risk countries are transferred to home quarantine. For those who are not, it is self-observation. The minister also said that samples of RTPCR-positive people from high-risk countries were being sent for omicron genetic testing.

What is Omicron?

Omicron or B is a new variant of the SARS corona virus-2. 1. 1. 529. Omikron reported last November 22 in South Africa. This variant has undergone more than 30 protein modifications. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a variant of Concern, citing its high contagiousness, ability to break down immunity, and the rapid increase in the number of cases in South Africa.

How to check?

RTPCR is the most commonly used and widely accepted method of detecting the SARS Corona 2 virus. However, the presence of omicron was confirmed by omicron genetic testing.

How to be safe?

What makes Omicron even more dangerous is its extreme diffusion potential. The retaliatory measures taken against Kovid so far should continue. It is imperative to wear a mask properly, take two doses of the vaccine, maintain physical distance, wash your hands frequently, and ensure as much ventilation as possible in your room.

Vaccination is important

Those who have not been vaccinated should receive the vaccine immediately. Vaccines can provide protection against Kovid because the safety of the vaccine is linked to antibody and cell immunity. Vaccines can reduce the severity of Kovid disease. It is therefore imperative to take two doses of the currently available vaccines. Those who have not yet received the Kovid vaccine should receive the vaccine immediately.

As long as the virus has the ability to transmit and multiply, it will have variants. Variations were dangerous or would not have been noticed. Variations are more likely to be transmitted when there is a high risk of transmission and re-infection. The most important step in preventing variations is to reduce the incidence of covid. Therefore, everyone should strictly follow the Kovid guidelines, the minister said.
