Only one COVID-19 case was detected in January and two in April, indicating that the virus is currently spreading at a minimal rate in the city. Despite this, health authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant.
Health Department guidelines and precautions:
• Wear masks regularly.
• Wash hands frequently.
• Avoid crowded places.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience cold, cough, fever, or sore throat.
Special advisory for high-risk groups:
Elderly individuals and those suffering from diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease have been advised to take extra precautions. Officials noted that symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza are often similar. Initial treatment is usually for common viral infections, and if there’s no improvement within 48 hours, a COVID-19 test is recommended.
Currently, testing facilities are available at Nagpur’s Government Medical College and Mayo Hospital. The NMC is also planning to reopen COVID-19 testing centers at its hospitals soon.
