Covid-19 cases in India: Doctors say no need to panic, but don't ignore symptoms like fever, cough and body ache

Two Covid-19-related deaths of a 60-year-old man and a 46-year-old man were reported in Andhra Pradesh, along with 8 active cases.

Doctors emphasize SARS-CoV-2 has transitioned to an endemic pattern, with sporadic infections expected and most cases being mild.

Old and chronically ill patients are advised to monitor symptoms and consult a hospital if their condition deteriorates.

The first death was at Christian Medical College, Vellore; the second at Government General Hospital-RIMS in Kadapa; contacts traced and screened.
