Thanks to New Year gatherings, Covid-19 cases to surge: Doctors

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Doctors are expecting Covid-19 cases in the city to surge, propelled by the large gatherings that took place on New Year’s eve, and advised the public to adhere to Covid-safe practices of social distancing and mask discipline. He said that the symptoms caused by the variant currently in circulation are different from those that caused the third wave, extending to include body pains, cold, cough, fever and ear pain. Dr M. Rajeev, a consultant pulmonologist at Osmania General Hospital, said the extent of the surge in cases might not be clear as a lot of cases will be asymptomatic, just like the third wave. Virus watch > Doctors advise caution as many with Covid-19 may be asymptomatic > The number of cases over the next week will provide a picture of the case spread > Mask discipline, social distancing advised at all public places > Symptoms may include body pains, cold, cough, fever and ear pain > Loss of smell and taste no common anymore, say experts
