Background:
The global cases of Covid-19 increasing day by day. On Nov. 25, 2020, a
total of 59,850,910 cases reported globally with a 1,411,216 global
death1. In India, total cases in the country now stand
at 91,77,841 including 86,04,955 recoveries and 4,38,667 active cases as
on Nov. 24, 2020, as per the data issued by ICMR2.
Around 30,000 to 47,000 daily new cases were reported for the past some
days in India3. The Indian Council of Medical Research
(ICMR) reported three cases of Covid-19 re-infection in India from
across the country so far, whereas 24 such cases have been found
globally. Around 80% of COVID-19 patients present with mild or no
symptoms4. Symptoms may include fever, cough, aches,
pains, and weakness, all common to cold and flu4. It
is important to note that the absence of fever does not exclude
infection from COVID-19.
