Srinagar, Dec 29:<\/em><\/strong> After a long hiatus, a fresh case of Covid-19 has been reported in Jammu and Kashmir even as officials said that there is no need to panic but advised people to take precautions.<\/p>\nAn official from GMC Jammu told the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that a patient who had come in contact with the person who had returned from abroad has been tested positive for Covid.<\/p>\n
He said that this was the first case of now endemic Covid-19, however, his sample has been sent to the genome sequencing laboratory to find the sub-variant behind the case.<\/p>\n
He added that the patient who is recovering now had mild symptoms and has been kept under observation at home.<\/p>\n
He added that there is no need to panic but people need to take precautions like they were taking earlier.<\/p>\n
An official said that normal precautions are enough to combat Covid-19 and its strains and there is no need to panic.<\/p>\n
They said that young people going outside need to take more precautions as they may contract a virus and then it may spread to elderly ones and people having underlying problems.<\/p>\n
They added that people having underlying problems need to take more precautions and contracting any virus for these people may prove fatal .<\/p>\n
Officials from the Kashmir division said that no fresh Covid-19 has been reported in the Kashmir division.<\/p>\n
Spokesperson DHSK Dr Mir Mushtaq told KNO that people shouldn\u2019t think about variants rather they need to focus on precautions so as to keep the disease away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need to understand whether Covid-19 or its variant is a one disease and the same precautions are required to keep Covid-19 and its strains or variants away,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n
