India sees steep rise in Covid-19 cases: Health experts on Covid-19 symptoms to watch out for
Covid-19 cases to 4,40,87,037, according to the Union Health Ministry data. The death toll climbed to 5,26,530 with 53 new fatalities reported on Thursday.
Another health expert has recommended getting tested timely as an important way to navigate the situation. Dr Dhiren Gupta, senior consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi has said 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.
Dr Gupta further informed that "the reasons for rising Covid numbers are reckless behaviour of people and not wearing masks.
The changes in the weather also can be a reason," adding that there are few deaths that have been reported, in which most of them died due to comorbidities rather than Covid infections. "Most of the cases are mild and it is more like flu-like symptoms which we are seeing cough, fever and some sometimes high fever for two or three days.
