The Indian Medical Association recommended the public not to unnecessarily care and panic at the revival of Covida. However, it was extremely important that all standard preventive measures were maintained to prevent the transmission of diseases and to protect vulnerable groups from the closure of the disease, a statement issued by President Keral IMA, Kasrivilasan and Secretary, Kasrivilasan said on Wednesday.
IMA said that the OMicron variants have only caused a short -term symptomatic disease and in Kerala, where the public is a high level of primary vaccination coverage between the public, there was a risk of these variants causing serious diseases rare.
However, people with a relatively weak immune system such as people with serious chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney disease and heart disease should be very careful.
IMA pointed out that maintaining preventive measures is important because Covid cannot be easily distinguished from other seasonal infectious diseases only through clinical symptoms. The risk of the disease can be largely eliminated by physical distance, using masks and hand hygiene.
IMA advocated extensive use of masks in all health care centers. Visitors should be limited in hospitals. People with respiratory symptoms should strictly avoid contact with others until their symptoms disappear. He called on the public to cooperate with diagnostic tests and medical facilities organized by government and medical department.
IMA has expanded its full cooperation to the government and the health department to fight the increase in Covid.
