New Delhi, April 11, 2022:
Delhi Health Minister Shri Satyendar Jain addressed a press conference on Monday regarding the newly emerged XE variant that has been found in the state of Gujarat. During a press conference, Health Minister Shri Satyendar Jain said, “The XE variant is yet to be classified as a variant of concern. New variants of the virus are being discovered around the world almost every other day, and many more will emerge as time passes. We have to understand that unless a variant is deemed as a ‘variant of concern’ by the WHO, we need not be worried about it, However, we still need to keep our guards up and follow the rules pertaining to the pandemic” He added that the Delhi Government has taken all necessary precautions beforehand to tackle any rise in cases.
Shri Satyendar Jain said, “We are closely monitoring the COVID situation in Delhi. There is no need to focus on the infection rate at the moment, as the number of hospital admissions is decreasing day by day and the total daily cases is between 100 to 200.”
Responding to questions posed by the press about precautionary doses and the lifting of the penalty for not wearing masks, Shri Satyendar Jain said, “The cases have gone down substantially and the hospital admissions have followed suit as well. Only around 49 people were admitted into hospitals, which is a significant fall in numbers from around 150 people being admitted a month ago. We have to understand that COVID is here to stay and we have to learn to live with it and make changes to our policies accordingly.”
The Health Minister of Delhi urged people to follow the rules related to Corona. He told the people of Delhi through the press, “There is no need to panic. The only way to prevent the virus from spreading is to take precautions and follow all the protocols related to COVID at all times.”
