Digital Desk: Three years after the start of the pandemic, India once again experienced a rise in Covid cases, with the daily Covid-19 tally rising steadily after months. The Narendra Modi-led central government has responded by issuing a new recommendation for Covid patient care as a result of this.
In light of the growing concern over H3N2 flu, the Covid-19 National Task Force, which reports to the Union Health Ministry, recently released a new list of revisions to the recommendations for the management of adult Covid-19 patients. The Covid-19 National Task Force also issued a strong caution about antibiotic use.
According to the Center's advice, antibiotics shouldn't be given to Covid patients who have other endemic illnesses like H3N2 until a clinical suspicion of a bacterial infection in the patient exists, ANI reported.
According to the Centre's updated recommendations, Covid patients are not currently advised to take medications including lopinavir-ritonavir, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), ivermectin, Molnupiravir, Favipiravir, azithromycin, and Doxycycline.
The Centre's updated recommendation stated, "Antibiotics shouldn't be taken unless a bacterial infection is clinically suspected. It is necessary to take into account the probability of COVID-19 and other endemic illnesses coinfecting. In mild illness, systemic corticosteroids are not recommended."
Citizens have been urged to keep "physical distance, indoor mask use, hand cleanliness, symptomatic care (hydration, anti-pyretics, antitussive), check temperature and oxygen saturation (by applying a SpO probe to fingers) Keep in touch with the treating doctor," the Center's most recent guidance said.
Furthermore, Remdesivir injection dosage has been recommended for moderate to severe infection levels, while persons who exhibit symptoms like difficulty breathing or a fever that last for more than five days are urged to seek emergency medical assistance.
In the middle of the discovery of the Covid XBB 1.16 infection variation, the virus's fastest-spreading subtype to date, the number of Covid cases is increasing at the same time.
