Government Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr. Sunny B. When Orathel spoke about this, "Covid infection is diagnosed in patients who are admitted to hospital with respiratory symptoms. In most cases, they test negative for the H1N1 virus, but some patients test positive for coronavirus. In people who are confirmed to have corona, the symptoms last for a long time. Especially for a month or two. "However, what we are seeing now is that the symptoms are getting worse due to atmospheric pollution and climate change rather than Covid."

However, they have advised people with co-morbidities and those with weakened immune systems to be cautious.
