11 new Covid cases; health dept says no cause for alarm

Sources in the Diamond Harbour health district said that both visited the Magrahat Rural Hospital’s outpatient department last week with complaints of fever, cold, and cough. Their samples were collected and sent for testing at Diamond Harbour Medical College and Hospital’s laboratory. The results confirmed Covid in both cases. The woman and the child did not require hospitalisation and are currently stable and recovering at home under the observation of the health district authorities, hospital sources said. The health department is taking regular updates of the two and has asked the local officials to keep a watch if anyone else in the area complains of similar symptoms.

A pregnant woman who tested Covid-19 positive, has been admitted to a nursing home in Kankurgachi, Kolkata.

A 15-year-old boy from Rishra was admitted to a private hospital near EM Bypass on Saturday as the latest Covid case, with symptoms including high fever, cough, severe dehydration, vomiting, and diarrhoea. The boy was initially treated by a local doctor but showed no improvement, prompting his hospital visit. He is currently undergoing treatment in an isolated cabin with no respiratory issues reported.
