Strategy of home isolation for mild cases to continue, says Health department
People in the 30-45 age group have been found to be more infected in the latest spike in COVID-19 cases in Ernakulam, according to the Health department.
The surge in cases among this age group may be due to their frequent movement in public spaces compared to the other age groups, including the elderly. With most of them having taken two doses of the vaccine, they may have visited crowded places or attended public functions, especially at the time of Christmas and New Year celebrations, said Dr. V. Jayashree, District Medical Officer.
However, there has been no sudden increase in hospitalisation of people in the 30-45 age group despite the increase in the number of persons getting infected in the category.
