 I am Dr. Prasad Bure. Head of Department and Consultant, Internal Medicine, Manipal Hospital Bade. Today I am going to talk with you regarding COVID. This is new COVID. Because since few days or say few weeks, 2-3 weeks, again the cases of COVID are coming and the people are again scary. But the most important thought that I want to convey you today is awareness is more important than your fear. Definitely the COVID was there. COVID is there. COVID had never gone. COVID was there. The recent that formation or the recent whatever you get it from the COVID virus is the Omicron. And now what we are facing, the JN1 variant is the variant of Omicron itself. Omicron is in as good as in a search of mutation and that it got. It got a mutation and now it is the new variant JN1. It is same like the previous COVID. But definitely what is the difference now is that the immunity which has been built in us. Because we have already been infected by COVID previously. Most of us have been vaccinated already and due to these 2 reasons we have strong immunity against COVID. And this new variant JN1, Omicron variant JN1 variant is again showing the same symptoms in the patient. Upper respiratory symptoms, cough, cold, breathlessness, minimal breathlessness, fever itself. And again the treatment will be same that will be symptomatic. What we have to do is get vaccinated if you are not. Most of the people have vaccinated 2 times but the booster has not been taken. Kindly go for that booster vaccination. Use mask. If you are symptomatic avoid going in public places. And if you are facing any symptoms if you are noticing having any symptoms go immediately and consult your doctor. If necessary then only your doctors will go for the test. And though if the rapid adhesion or other tests for COVID are positive nothing to worry. Don't be scared. Definitely there is symptomatic treatment. And noted very confidently from my side that this COVID is not going to be life threatening and not going to be serious symptomatic. Because the immunity is already there. So finally take care and definitely awareness is more important than your fare. Thank you.
