Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party (SP), expressed grave worries in a recent tweet over the government’s readiness to handle the current spike in COVID-19 cases. Yadav drew attention to the growing number of diseases and questioned if sufficient precautions are being taken to handle a possible new viral wave. He called on the federal and state governments to take the initiative and put prompt, practical measures in place to stop the spread.

“The government must be vigilant before the alarm goes off in order to avoid and control Corona and ensure that the same errors of negligence and poor management as before are not made again. The people often die as a result of the BJP’s errors. Even the corona vaccination, for which certificates were widely issued, has since been shown to be ineffective. For this reason, even more attention to detail is required this time. The government should make good use of its health-medical and information system and should not allow the public to become afraid of Corona, he wrote on X. “We all have to explain to the public that even though the situation of Corona is not very serious right now, it should not be neglected because such diseases come in a changed form,” he wrote.

A slight increase in active COVID cases has also been recorded in India. As of May 19, the nation had 257 active COVID-19 cases, according to statistics accessible at that time.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) held a review meeting earlier Monday with specialists from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the Emergency Medical Relief (EMR) division, the Disaster Management Cell, the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), and central government hospitals in response to recent media reports of an increase in COVID cases in Singapore and Hong Kong.

According to reports, the Director General of Health Services (DGHS) presided over the meeting. The data indicates that the majority of cases in Singapore and Hong Kong are moderate and do not have an unusually high fatality rate. The expert review conference came to the conclusion that India’s COVID issue is still under control in light of recent developments.

Through the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) and ICMR, India also has a strong infrastructure for monitoring respiratory viral diseases, such as COVID-19.
