COVID cases increased in the last 10 days not only in the national capital but also in other cities. "But most of the cases are mild," he added.
Speaking about the symptoms, Dr Modi said, "This time people are coming up with diarrhoea but symptoms are milder now. Very less hospitalisation has been seen.
The people who come under Comorbidities are reporting hospitalisation." Earlier several studies have pointed out that Omicron BA.2 patients often complain of six gut-related sicknesses -Nausea, Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Heartburn, Bloating Suggesting taking precaution and implementing a strategy to curb the spread of the virus, Dr Modi said that masks must be worn. "If cases continuously rise, then more precautions need to be taken," he added.
Stressing on vaccination of children, he said, "It's a very important step because they are the ones who aren't vaccinated. So they can act as a carrier of COVID virus in their bodies and multiplication of the virus can be fast because people weren't vaccinated and risk of newer mutations can also increase." India has been reporting over 2,000 daily infections for the past few days.
