With Haryana reporting four new Covid-19 cases amid similar reports emerging from other parts of the country, Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao on Friday said the State Health department is closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety and preparedness. She also said that there was no cause for panic. Haryana currently has four active Covid-19 cases — two in Gurugram and two in Faridabad, with no international travel history. All four cases (two male and two female patients) are mild in nature and are currently under home quarantine. The Minister said that there has been no requirement for hospitalization, and all patients are under regular medical supervision. All four individuals were previously vaccinated against Covid-19, which has helped keep symptoms minimal. A person from Gurugram district who was earlier detected with the virus has already recovered. Rao further said, There is no need to panic. This variant is mild and manageable, and we are following all advisories issued by the Government of India from time to time. Citizens are advised to remain calm and continue following Covid-appropriate behaviour. The Health Minister said that to ensure readiness, civil surgeons across the state have been directed to maintain logistics and treatment facilities. The Haryana Government continues to prioritize the health and safety of its citizens, Rao added. Covid-19 is now considered another type of viral infection in which basic precautions such as hand hygiene, wearing masks in crowded areas and avoiding unnecessary gatherings are encouraged.
