As terrifying images evoking the height of the COVID-19 outbreak circulate on social media, worries about the next move increase. People are all too aware of how COVID-19 spreads and the severe damage it can cause. The Indian government is also on alert due to the rising COVID cases in China that have crowded its hospitals, but specialists have warned everyone not to panic but continue to wear masks.

The Health Ministry and INSACOG are closely monitoring the issue. To identify and contain COVID-19 outbreaks, the ministry has advocated for the early discovery, isolation, testing, and prompt management of suspected and confirmed patients.

Former Director of Delhi AIIMS, Dr Randeep Guleria said that that India’s situation was much better compared to that of China because India’s vaccination strategy has been a successful one. He also said that the most people in the high-risk group have been administered booster doses and natural infection has happened.

Dr Guleria further said that cases were not rising anywhere in India but citizens need to stay vigilant. He says, proper surveillance was needed so that if cases rose anywhere, India can pick it up at the earliest and start conducting test, so that it can be known if new variant has spread in India.

Adar Poonawalla, the director general of Serum Insitute of India, said that there was no cause to fear given the country’s good vaccination rate.

According to Subramanian Swaminathan, Director of Gleneagles Health, India is likely doing better than before in the fight against COVID. There are many advantages to be gained, at least for the time being. In general, one can conclude that India is in a far better situation than we ever were with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite a few worries India has and potential weak spots.

Dr VK Paul, a member of the NITI Aayog’s health committee, said that only 27 to 28 per cent of individuals have taken a booster dose. He has urged the people to exercise caution, especially the elderly. Everyone must follow the precaution dose guidelines, he said.

In addition, he recommended people to wear masks in crowded areas, whether indoors or out. Dr Paul also said that this is especially crucial for those who have comorbid conditions or are older.
