Healthcare trends 2022: Health ministry of India has advised the citizens to take all preventive measures against COVID-19. The measures include getting vaccinated and wearing masks, using hand sanitizers, maintaining hygiene and social distancing.
Further, testing of the international travelers, monitoring new strains of COVID is also important. This is because the country is on high alert for potential new variants of COVID. The new variants could emerge from the neighboring country China.
However, only maintaining the social norms of hygiene and initiating vaccination and booster shots is not enough. Health Minister Mandaviya said “COVID is not over yet. I have directed all concerned to be on the alert, and strengthen surveillance.”
Earlier this year, because of a drop in infections India relaxed its COVID restrictions. People mostly stopped wearing masks outside because of the relaxations. This made the Indian ministers to raise warnings for the upcoming COVID waves with new strains.
