According to a letter from Rajesh Bhushan, the secretary of the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry, Uttar Pradesh has seen a rise in weekly Covid cases from 279 to 696. Bhushan has urged states like Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Haryana, and Delhi to remain vigilant against complacency that could undo the gains made in pandemic management so far.
He also noted that while hospitalization and death rates from Covid-19 have remained low, states or districts with higher numbers of cases may indicate a possible localized spread of the infection, necessitating closer attention and the need to institute public health measures to control and contain surges in the initial stages.
The letter emphasized the importance of the state health department taking immediate and efficient health measures, with a particular focus on enhancing surveillance in all districts, monitoring trends in influenza-like illness and SARI, ensuring an adequate level of testing, particularly in emerging hotspots, increasing samples for genome sequencing, and strengthening hospital infrastructure.
