As the festive season is approaching, people should be extra cautious. Especially those with co-morbidities, the elderly. Be more careful, he advised.
Symptoms of the virus:

Speaking to the news agency ANI, Dr. Randeep Guleria said that the virus is spreading with symptoms of fever, sore throat, cough, body aches, and chills and due to the virus mutation, the immunity of the people has decreased and therefore more people are affected. H1N1 was the cause of infection many years ago.
The variant of that virus is now H3N2, which is a normal influenza virus. But as the virus mutates, immunity is waning in the population, he said. He mentioned that this virus varies slightly from year to year. Although many people are affected by this infection, most of them are taking treatment at home as per the doctor's advice. It is reported that the number of people admitted to the hospital and receiving treatment is less. Doctors say that the virus is spreading more because of the change in weather during this period and people not wearing masks in the crowd.
Preventive Measures:
We must keep our hands clean to protect ourselves from this virus. Wash your hands frequently. Do not touch eyes or face with bare hands. Masks must be worn in crowded places. Doctors advise maintaining personal distance. Especially those with co-morbidities are advised to be extra careful. As holi is celebrated tomorrow, people should be careful while celebrating.
