Health experts say that currently admissions are seen in cases where the individuals are elderly and have comorbid conditions.
Scientists have said that the XBB.1.16 variant of coronavirus is responsible for the current surge in cases. But, the infection is supposed to be milder in nature and may not lead to a rise in hospitalisation rate as Indians have likely developed hybrid immunity due to vaccination and natural exposure to the disease. The Centre, however, has urged people to wear masks in crowded places and complete their vaccination doses.
The health ministry has directed states and union territories to follow a risk assessment-based approach to prevent and contain the infection. The ministry has advised state governments to examine the covid-19 situation at micro level (district and sub-districts) and maintain focus on implementation of necessary measures for prompt and effective management of covid-19 duly ensuring effective compliance.
Around 4,43,56,693 people recovered from the infection with the current recovery rate touching 98.70 %.
Under the covid vaccination drive, more than 220.66 crore vaccine doses have been administered to the people across the country so far. In the last 24 hours, around 3,875 vaccine doses were administered.
