'No one is safe until everyone is safe'

High Surge in #COVID19 Cases are being reported in other Countries; hence it is not the right time for any kind of relaxation of COVID rules or COVID Appropriate Behaviors

JS, @MoHFW_INDIA cautions everyone to be extra careful to prevent co0infection during Monsoon

This poses challenges in clinical and laboratory diagnosis of #COVID19 which may eventually affect clinical management & patient outcomes

Right things to do to prevent Co-infection?

1. #COVID19 Appropriate Behavior
2. Reduction of mosquito breeding sites
3. #Vaccination
4. Use approved insect repellents
5. Wearing protective clothing, avoiding swimming in contaminated water

- @MoHFW_INDIA

#CoronaVirus' behavior cannot be taken for granted; there is still vulnerable population across the country

Although there is an increase in vaccination, still it is not a full guarantee

- @NITIAayog

There are States that show signs of concern; #COVID19 positivity rate in our North Eastern states has gone above 10%

- @NITIAayog

Virus replication and chains of transmission are going on

When there is so much virus replication, variants can emerge, other nearby areas around #COVID19 surge districts can get infected and the vulnerable population in any part of our country remains susceptible

- @NITIAayog

#SecondWave is not over
Some areas still remain areas of concern
States of North East and Kerala continue to remain areas of concern

- @NITIAayog
