Even though COVID-19 cases have begun to show an increase in the State, there was no cause for concern as no new virus variants had been detected, a statement issued by Health Minister Veena George on Friday said.
Genetic sequencing studies have not found any new variants in circulation. The Omicron virus variant, which is currently in circulation in the State, was causing new infections again. COVID-19 would continue to be around and hence it was important that people should learn to live with the virus, Ms. George said.
