Four years later, Corona still remains a major risk to global health. An increase in its cases has been seen from time to time. After November-December 2023, the pace of Corona seemed to be controlled, although in recent reports there is news of infection increasing once again.
An increase in cases of infection is being reported for the last two days. Not only this, for the first time since May 2023, a jump in cases of infection has been recorded in a single day in the national capital Delhi. According to Thursday's report, 63 new cases of corona have been reported in Delhi.
Along with Delhi, an increase in cases of infection is also being seen in other northern states including Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. 459 cases of Covid-19 have been reported in Delhi in the last 15 days. According to the data of the Union Health Ministry, there has been a surge in infections in Rajasthan also, recently Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma was also found infected with Corona. Health experts have advised all people to continue taking precautions to prevent corona.
Alert regarding increasing infection
Experts say that due to fluctuations in temperature and the infectivity rate of new variants, a surge in corona cases is being seen again. In recent studies regarding Corona, health experts had expressed concern and said that the virus is constantly mutating to keep itself alive, in such a situation there may be a danger of new variants coming in the future and a surge in the number of infected people. .
Even though you have been vaccinated, it is still advised to continue taking precautions to prevent corona.
Omicron's JN.1 variant is the main reason
Health experts say, new mutants of Corona may be more infectious than before and due to this there is a possibility of increase in cases of infection. At present, the JN.1 variant of Omicron is mainly considered to be the main reason for the increase in corona cases in the last one year. The infectivity rate of this variant has been seen to be high but it is not causing serious diseases.
However, the big question is that summer is now beginning in North India, what could be the reason for the surge of infection in a high temperature environment?
Relationship between temperature and corona
Health experts say, till now many studies have been done on the relationship between weather and corona. Some reports suggest that a drop in temperature may increase the rise in Corona like other variants, but if we look at the data of the last four years, it shows that Corona does not have a clear relation with temperature. A surge in infections has been seen in the summer before. Researchers say, Corona remains among all of us.
From time to time, it causes infection in people with weak immunity and can cause infection to other people as well. Therefore, it is important that we always remain alert regarding measures to prevent corona.
What do experts say?
Health experts say, the testing rate of Corona has also been decreasing in the past days. The low testing rate suggests the actual number of cases may be much higher. Cases of infection due to various variants have been seen in India in the last four years.
In view of the dangers of Corona, all people should continue to follow Covid Appropriate Behavior. Wearing a mask and taking care of hand hygiene can not only protect you from corona but it also reduces the risk of other diseases like flu.
