Covid test scare not over

"People are still scared to get themselves tested even if they develop symptoms, " Nawanshahr Deputy Commissioner Dr Shena Aggarwal shared a concern today.

"People believe that if the reports come positive, they will have to get admitted in the hospital. They must understand that nobody will be admitted in the hospital forcefully," the DC said. She also said that a new strain has been identified in UK, so, anyone who has come in contact with NRIs who have come from UK in the last one week, must get themselves isolated and take precautions.
