    NEW DELHI: After nearly a month of surge, Covid-19 cases and deaths due to the virus are on the decline. The number of active cases, which had crossed 7,000 on June 11, has declined to 4,425, govt data shows. One fatality was recorded in the last 24 hours.“Covid-19 is now endemic. It is not a serious threat. That’s why many people aren’t getting themselves tested even when symptoms surface,” said a senior doctor. The virus is causing mild fever with most patients recovering at home in 2 to 3 days. “Only those with co-morbidities such as cancer, kidney disease and heart disease need to take extra care,” the doctor added. tnnDr Rommel Tickoo, director of internal medicine at Max Saket, said: “We don’t advise Covid tests for everyone with fever, cough and cold. But due to the panic and anxiety caused by a surge in cases, some patients have come to us with positive Covid tests. Treatment involves symptomatic management and rest. In case of Covid or Covid-like symptoms, we also advise keeping away from others to check the spread of infection,” he said. Dr Arjun Khanna, who heads pulmonology department at Amrita hospital, Faridabad, said that one new feature of the current wave is that Covid-19 has become clinically less distinct from other viral respiratory infections.
