Jhajjar (Haryana) [India] May 24 (ANI): Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao on Saturday assured that the government has made all the arrangements in view of the recent COVID cases in the state and said that there is no need to panic.
“Some cases of COVID have been reported…There is no need to panic…The government has made all the arrangements.”
According to a statement on May 23, Haryana currently has four active COVID-19 cases — two in Gurugram and two in Faridabad, with no international travel history.
All four cases (two male and two female patients) are mild in nature and are currently under home quarantine. There has been no requirement for hospitalisation, and all patients are under regular medical supervision.
Notably, all four individuals were previously vaccinated against COVID-19, which has helped keep symptoms minimal. A person from Gurugram district who was earlier detected with the virus has already recovered.
Meanwhile, AIIMS Rishikesh has reported three COVID cases, adding to the recent surge in cases across the country.
Speaking with ANI, Rishikesh AIIMS Director Meenu Singh informed that one of the three patients has already been discharged.
“Three COVID patients have been reported in the AIIMS… One has been discharged… Another patient is one of our residents. She has been kept in isolation. Another patient is from Gujarat who came here for the Badrinath Yatra,” Dr Meenu Singh said.
Dr Singh also mentioned that this variant of COVID is not very harmful, but people should be cautious.
“The state has kept us on alert. We have implemented COVID-appropriate behaviour in our institute… This variant is not very harmful, but if someone has any comorbidities,…then they should get themselves checked,” she said.
As of May 19, the number of active COVID-19 cases in India stands at 257 — a very low figure considering the country’s large population. Almost all of these cases are mild, with no hospitalisation required. The country also has a robust system for surveillance of respiratory viral illnesses, including COVID-19, through the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) and the ICMR. (ANI)
