Delhi Govt On Alert:
The Delhi government has directed hospitals to remain on high alert and maintain adequate testing levels. Experts believe seasonal changes and public complacency may be contributing to the rise.
Experts Speak:
Although there’s no confirmation of a new variant, health experts suggest genomic surveillance is necessary to rule out any possible mutation driving the spike.
