Corona enters Prayagraj health department on alert

PRAYAGRAJ

The Health department came on high alert after a  youth was found Corona positive in Kareli, Prayagraj. As the new sub-form JN.1 is being identified in patients infected with corona virus in the country fear has spread among people regarding the new variant of Corona.

It is possible if adequate arrangements will not be made up to the mark as the earliest then the cases many increase very rapidly in the city.This new form has come to prominence in the samples found during genome sequencing conducted within a week in other cities.

According the report submitted  by  Indian Genomics Consortium (INSACOG)  said that the first four JN.1 infected cases were reported in the country in the month of November, while this month this form has been confirmed in 17 patients.

Genome sequencing of eight samples found JN.1 in all, up from 20 and 50 percent of samples in the previous week. Dr. Samiran Panda, former head of the department of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), has said in his statement that the R value of JN.1 sub-form is higher than Omicron.

But its infection is not as strong as it was in previous years. According to Dr. Rajiv Jayadevan, co-chairman of the Covid Task Force of the Indian Medical Association, despite this, many medical studies are showing that it is not a serious form, but can spread rapidly.

According to Dr Ashish Tandon, respiratory disorder expert  said that our immune system becomes weak in winter. During this period the infection quickly spreads. This applies to corona and other respiratory infections. We do not need to be afraid of Corona, but it is also necessary for us to take precautions. Everyone should consume fresh fruits, milk and cheese. Also use a mask.
