New Delhi, Oct 27: The Health Ministry has asked all states and UTs to exercise caution in coming days including the holiday season, citing an increase in new corona infections in the United States, Russia, and China.

According to studies, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom have been experiencing 40,000 cases each day, threatening the Indian population.
The virus is now spreading in China, posing an extra concern.

a) Strict enforcement of laid down guidelines for allowing festivities in a cautious, safe and COVID appropriate manner.
b) No mass gathering should be allowed in areas identified as containment zones and in districts reporting more than 5% COVID-19 test confirmation rates.
c) Necessary directions should be issued adequately in advance by the concerned State Governments for practicing cautions during the festivities.
d) Gatherings that are allowed with advance permission and limited number of people (as per local context) should be closely monitored and in case of violations of COVID appropriate behavior, necessary enforcement and penal actions should be taken There should be stnct adherence to limits on public gatherings taking into account availability of space to ensure effective physical distancing

Despite a dipping COVID-19 graph which is a part of the picture and pointed to factors such as the mortality rate, there is a need for a larger vaccination cover. However, some experts opine that India is unlikely to see a COVID-19 wave like the devastating second wave, but the lower number of cases does not necessarily mean the pandemic is now endemic, the experts have said.
