The Central government has written to Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Odisha, Maharashtra, Kerala, Delhi and Karnataka governments following a steady rise in the average daily new cases of COVID-19 in the past few weeks.
In view of some changes in symptoms and clinical manifestation of the disease, it was crucial to monitor and report district-wise cases of influenza-like illness (lLl) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in all health facilities as per the guidelines, the Central government said.
It was vital to detect early warning signals of the spread of infection. “This will enable us to take pre-emptive action if required, in any areas of concern,’’ the Ministry said.
