Hyderabad: Concerns over a possible rise in COVID-19 infections have resurfaced in Telangana following the detection of fresh cases and COVID-related deaths in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Health experts have urged people to remain vigilant and seek medical attention promptly if respiratory symptoms persist.
Doctors have advised people experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, sore throat, body aches, severe fatigue or fever for two or more days to consult a qualified physician. Experts have also stressed the importance of monitoring influenza-like illnesses and severe respiratory infections to detect any unusual rise in cases at an early stage.
Medical professionals noted that seasonal viral infections and influenza are also common during changing weather conditions, making it difficult to distinguish them from COVID-19 based on symptoms alone. Telangana has recently witnessed an increase in seasonal viral fevers and respiratory illnesses amid changing weather and humidity levels.
