The current influenza peak is impacting those who have been affected with covid infection. Elderly above 65 years and children below five years of age need to be more careful”, said newly-appointed minister, adding that center has issued Covid advisory to six states, but Delhi is not among them.
However, we are issuing advisory on behalf of Delhi government that avoid going crowded places, keep washing hands, and other preventive measures.
