The additional city of Commissioner Suresh Kakani said that they positively saw the results of the survey sero but they did not let the guard down them.
“We feel that if people do not follow the appropriate Covid behavior, they can still be infected, even if symptoms may be moderate or mild.
Therefore, people must continue to wash their hands, wear masks and observe social distance,” Kakani said, adding that wrong One factor that might have caused the prevalence of being ignored between slum and slums, it could be a high number of people in buildings that have been vaccinated.
“As a sero-prevalence among those who are vaccinated much higher than colleagues who are not vaccinated, it is important to strengthen on the Covid-19 vaccination program,” BMC said in a statement issued.
Congress MLA Amin Patel said that one reason for this high level of antibodies could be the fact that people today were not reluctant to take the vaccine again.
“Also in the high-density area people can see that the number of Covid-19 cases is less and also in case there is a positive case, the patient does not need to be hospitalized,” Patel said.
