As West Bengal grapples with a sudden spike in COVID-19 cases, Kolkata’s Deputy Mayor Atin ghosh has urged residents to remain vigilant rather then fearful. In just one week, the state has reported an alarming increase of 319 new infections, bringing the total number of active cases to 331. Ghosh emphasized that while the new strain is contagious, it is not as deadly as previous variants. He advocates for mandatory mask-wearing, which not only protects individuals but also safeguards those around them.
In light of the recent surge, Ghosh highlighted the importance of maintaining hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and avoiding neglecting personal cleanliness after returning home.According to the latest report from the central health ministry, 44 new cases were confirmed in the last 24 hours alone. This rapid increase from just 12 cases on May 26 serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by the virus. As the situation evolves, the call for collective responsibility and adherence to health guidelines becomes more crucial than ever.
