Today again corona outbreak is emerging in China, Korea ,Japan and other few countries, people are afraid due to new wave of corona spread, New variant is mutated variant called BF7. It has been arised from Omicron, At present it seems that it is mild variant and do not cause hospitalization but other countrises are worried and taking ut most care, In India, government has started sequencing the corona variant, as well as doing PCR of travelers coming from these countries at the airport,
Many temple trust as well as district collectors are making mask compulsory. according to my opinion making mask compulsory is creating a fear among the people. No person can put the mask continuous 8 hours on the nose. it has become a show business and mask will never prevent spread of the disease, we are not using mask for preventing measles mumps or any other respiratory disease. secondly checking travellers by PCR test cannot prevent entry of virus in our country because China citizen can go to Dubai and enter in India or can go to Sri Lanka and enter into India, So making mask compulsory and checking traveller by PCR test cannot prevent the entry of virus in India. Mask can be used by old peoples and comorbid people to protect themselves,
As per my opinion only vaccination can prevent 4th wave of covind 19 because it is scientifically proved that immunity of corona vaccine last only for 9 months to 1 year now it is the time to have one more those of vaccine so I request the government and people that make doses of vaccine available and take the vaccine one more dose.Vaccine will protect you and nothing to worry.
In the history we will found that all epidemics and pandemics are controlled only by vaccine.we have told many times that corona will persist on the earth for long time. we have to increase our immunity. Of course we got immunity from natural infections also. But this immunity lasts only for 1 year so it is the time again to take one more dose of corona vaccine and get relaxed.
1.Mask compulsion should stopped.Suggest it only for old and comorbid people.
2.Gathering and travelling should not be stopped.
3.Not necessary to establish Task force again
4.Stop testing of travellers on air post.
Testing of suspected patient should be carried out.
5. Quarantine measures should be stopped.
6.Take one dose of vaccine every year
I want to mention one more thing here that many times people may require doses of more than one vaccine for example a person above 65 years age may require pneumonia vaccine, flu vaccine and corona vaccine.Naturally there is a question in his mind whether I can take three vaccines at a time. so I can say that he or she can take more than one vaccine doses at a time but only with a gap of one week the reason behind it is that by injecting vaccine sometimes you get reactions like fever, swelling and pains.so it is better to give sometime to subside the symptoms and then take another vaccine.
