SURAT: Amid rising Covid-19 cases and subsequent hospitalization of infected patients,
Surat Municipal Corporation has urged people to watch out for
symptoms of new Covid-19 strain which is believed to be the reason behind rising number of Covid-19 cases.
SMC has launched a massive campaign through social media with graphically designed posters explaining symptoms of the new strain of coronavirus.
According to SMC officials, symptoms of the new strain are aches and pains in the body, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headache, discolouration of fingers and toes, sore throat and rash on the skin.
"If people suffer from any of these symptoms, they are requested to contact the nearby community health centre and get themselves tested for Covid-19 to ensure that they are not infected. If they are, they need to get treatment and isolate themselves,” said an SMC official.
