Is it mandatory to wear mask again?

Doctor. Guleria said that there is a need to use masks, because there is a contagious infection like Kovid. This infection spreads through cough. That’s why we should use mask, wash hands regularly and follow social distancing. Patients of diabetes and other serious diseases need to be more careful, as they are more prone to infection.

Vaccination should be emphasized

Doctor. Another option, Guleria said, is to isolate high-risk patients. Elderly and other sick people need separate treatment and monitoring. Getting a flu shot is also a solution. The flu jab comes out as a new vaccine every year, and this vaccine also covers influenza A and B and their subtypes.
