As Covid cases have shown a rising trend across the country, an expert said on Thursday that the majority of cases have mild symptoms. Senior Pulmonologist at Apollo Hospital in Delhi, Dr Nikhil Modi, said that Covid cases are definitely rising but symptoms are mild. “The Covid cases are definitely on the rise. Delhi also reported more than 2000 cases yesterday.” But most of the patients are having very mild symptoms,” Dr Modi said. Taking about the risk to people who have comorbidities, Dr Modi said, “Patients with 80 to 90 years of age with diabetes and other issues have been reporting to us but all of them have mild symptoms.” A consultant at Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Dr Dhiren Gupta, said people who don’t get themselves tested timely and don’t follow Covid-appropriate behaviour land up in trouble.
