New Delhi: COVID-19 cases have increased in the capital but the situation is not serious as people are not developing severe disease and hospitalisation rate is low, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Thursday (April 28, 2022).
He attributed the low hospitalisation rate to vaccinations and naturally acquired immunity.
The minister also said there is no need to panic about cases among children with several serosurveys showing that they are not at high risk for severe Covid though the infection rate among children and adults is almost the same.
"Though Covid cases have increased in Delhi, people are not developing severe disease and the hospitalisation rate is low. This is because our population is fully vaccinated and a large number of people have had the disease in the past. So, the situation is not serious," Jain told reporters here.
