Letter: “There are two theories on the Omicron variant – which states that it may not be fatal as delta and the second is that it can prove the opposite as the spread of infection.
I believe that even though it is more like an ordinary flu today, people must be more alert And be careful at this stage, “said Dr.
Samir Gami, a pulmonologist to Ti.
Experts, who monitor the Covid situation carefully, given the cheating calm of the pre-second wave period, and fear that the situation of the omicron variant can now be proven only illusory.
The doctor claimed that even in the second wave of the killer, the overall scenario was calm before the Delta variant spread the tentacle to turn off.
“The initial patient of the Delta variant has no severe infection or shows symptoms.
There is no death too, but when the infected person increases the entire scenario turned out to be terrible,” said a health official in the Municipal Corporation letter.
The SMC health department team strictly monitors the situation and currently tracks every positive patient aggressively.
“It is necessary that people think of it seriously despite the severity of infection not much.
We need to be vigilant to prevent the spread of infection,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the government hospital has prepared the possibility of an increase in the number of infected people.
At present only four Covid-19 patients were received at a new civil hospital (NCH) but two floors with a total of 60 beds remained ready.
“The main reason for worries is a fully vaccinated person is also infected with a variant.
The situation is similar before the second wave when the first case of the Delta variant was reported,” Associate Professor in the Medical Department at NCH, Dr.
Ashvin Vasava, told Toi.
With the commencement of the spread of the Delta variant, many patients recovered at home without medicine.
However, the spread of infection is fast.
“We have better and fully prepared hospital facilities.
But people with co-morbidity are needed to be careful.
People need to act responsibly to prevent situations such as the second wave,” added Vasava.
