Doctors won some sort of a victory over covid-19 last year when social distancing was maintained and lockdowns were enforced. Now, as the cases are rising rapidly, doctors are again suggesting lockdowns as it is one of the most effective ways of curbing the spread of the virus. Appropriate behaviour related to covid-19 like wearing masks and not touching surfaces and sanitizing regularly must be practised for an effective fight against the virus as well.

COVID19 situation appears to be very serious in Tamil Nadu but there is no lockdown yet, no masking and people appear to be taking chances, says Madras High Court Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee

The vaccines in India have become available to citizens of ages 45+ since April 1. Doctors are requesting citizens to take the vaccines which are becoming more and more readily available in hospitals. The vaccines are extremely safe and will help weaken the strength of the virus and reduce the number of deaths due to covid-19. It will also reduce the number of patients who will require ventilators.

We have noticed, patients who were earlier infected with #COVID19 were mostly elderly people, now the patients are mostly youngsters, children & pregnant women. All arrangements are in place at our hospital so that we can treat patients: Dr. Suresh Kumar
