The cause for the surge in COVID cases is multifactorial. But 2 main causes are-when in Jan/Feb vaccination started&cases went down people stopped following COVID appropriate behaviour & at this time the virus mutated and it spread more rapidly: AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria
We are seeing a huge strain in the healthcare system. We have to keep increasing our hospital beds/resources for the increasing number of cases. We also have to urgently bring down the number of COVID19 cases: AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria
This a time when a lot of religious activities happen in our country& polls also underway. We must understand lives are also important. We can do this in a restricted manner so that religious sentiment is not hurt & COVID appropriate behaviour can be followed: Dr Randeep Guleria
We have to remember that no vaccine is 100% efficient. You may get the infection but the antibodies in our body will not allow the virus to multiply and you'll not have the severe disease: AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria
We have now a larger spike in Delhi as compared to 6-7 months ago. In terms of health infrastructure and containment, what we were doing in the past we need to do that again: AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria
