New Delhi: For the last few days, a steady increase in the cases of Covid-19 has been registered in many states. According to the data released by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Affairs, the number of active cases has increased to 53,720 as of April 15. In the last 24 hours till 8 am on 15 April, more than 10,000 Covid-19 cases were reported from across the country. Covid-19 may enter the ‘endemic stage’ in India. Doctors have also issued guidelines regarding this.
Health experts predicted that the number of new Covid-19 cases in India may continue to rise for the next 10-12 days and then start declining. They also predict that Covid-19 may enter an ‘endemic stage’ and infection will become a regular occurrence like the seasonal flu.
What is the ‘endemic stage’?
The term ‘endemic stage’ refers to a disease that is continuously present in a particular region or population. As more people are vaccinated and immunity builds up. The virus tends to be endemic, meaning it will continue to spread at low levels without causing a widespread outbreak. However, it is important to remember that the virus can still pose a risk to unvaccinated people and people with weakened immune systems.
The disease still exists among us
It is important to follow health guidelines to prevent serious illness and its transmission. As more people recover from the disease, the overall population becomes more immune and the immune transmission rate decreases. This results in fewer cases and a lower risk of outbreaks, but the disease is still present in the population.
It is necessary to take precautions to avoid corona
The decline in Covid-19 cases is the result of several factors, including rising vaccination rates and the development of natural immunity among already infected individuals. As suggested by the Ministry of Health, coronavirus may become a part of our daily lives, similar to the common cold or flu. It is important to note that the virus will still be present and precautions should still be taken to prevent its spread, such as wearing a mask or maintaining social distancing. These precautions not only protect individuals but also help prevent the further spread of the virus.
