Omicron threat: doctors advocate strict adherence to protocols
The Hindu
Don’t believe in miracle cures and unverified health tips, says AMC Principal
Strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols like wearing a mask, social distancing and frequent hand washing will help in keeping the virus at bay, said P.V. Sudhakar, Principal, Andhra Medical College (AMC). He was speaking at an awareness camp, organised by the Alluri Walkers Association, at Seethammadhara here on Sunday morning.
Dr. Sudhakar appealed to the public not to believe in miracle cures and unverified health tips, but to rely on scientifically proven medicines. Though the omicron variant was not causing severe symptoms, it was spreading rapidly and hence utmost caution was needed to check its spread. The severity was less in those who have taken both doses of the vaccine, he said.
