What does medical science say?

According to medical science, Corona virus has now reached the endemic stage. This simply means that this virus will never be completely eradicated from our environment. Just as cold, cough or common flu occur when the weather changes, similarly sporadic cases of corona will also keep coming up from time to time. Antibodies have now been formed in our body due to the vaccine and previous infection, due to which this virus is no longer as deadly as before.

What are the preparations of hospitals and health department?

In view of these new cases, the state and central governments are fully prepared to deal with any emergency. State health departments have immediately formed rapid response teams and special Covid control rooms have also been set up to monitor the situation. At the same time, superintendents of hospitals have been instructed to always keep a separate isolation ward with at least 10 beds ready so that patients can be admitted if needed. All government and big private hospitals have been ordered to keep adequate stock of testing kits, essential medicines, PPE kits for doctors and staff and N95 masks available at all times.

What is the truth of lockdown rumors?

The news of lockdown in 2026 circulating on social media is completely baseless. Health officials say that isolated cases of the virus will continue to occur in the future. Officials have appealed to the public not to spread any kind of panic. There is currently no restriction on traveling, going to school-college or working in the country. The government has also not made wearing masks mandatory.

How to protect yourself?

• People with weak immunity should be cautious: The elderly and people already suffering from any serious disease like sugar, BP or heart problem should avoid going to crowded places.
• Check if symptoms appear: If you are feeling high fever, persistent cough, sore throat or difficulty in breathing, then immediately contact your nearest doctor and get tested for corona.
• Masks and cleanliness: It is a good habit to wear a mask while going to crowded places, hospitals or public transport. It protects you from corona as well as pollution and other diseases. Keep washing your hands from time to time.
