New Delhi:
Over 100 new coronavirus cases have emerged in Delhi amid a resurgence in the infectious disease that has claimed millions of lives across the world since 2020.
The total number of active cases across the country stands at 1,009, shows the country's central COVID-19 dashboard. Capital Delhi has at least 104 active cases, out of which 99 were reported in the last week.
However, there is no need to panic, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has said, asserting that hospitals are prepared to tackle any further surge in cases. The minister said the cases were reported by private labs and that the latest variant has normal influenza-like symptoms.
Indian Council Of Medical Research (ICMR) Director General Dr Rajiv Bahl said the agencies are watching what is unfolding, and stressed on the need to be vigilant.
"The public need not worry about this new variant of Covid-19. We just need to be vigilant. The government and all the agencies are watching what is unfolding... According to me, the basic precautions should be taken. We are not talking about enhanced precautions right now. But if someone is a cancer patient or has immunity problems, then we generally advise them to avoid any infection. Precautions need to be taken...," said Dr Rajiv Bahl.
