Medical experts warn that heightened vigilance and public awareness are essential to curb the spread. Dr. Arjun Dang, CEO of Dr Dang’s Lab, noted a surge in testing requests and dozens of positive cases in recent weeks. He emphasized that timely diagnosis is critical, with molecular testing systems now delivering results within hours.
Authorities and health specialists recommend strict adherence to preventive measures, such as regular hand hygiene, mask use, isolation and medical consultation. Dr. Dang also advised people from high-risk groups to seek medical advice if they see new or worsening illness symptoms.
