The coronavirus situation in Odisha is fully under control and there is no need to panic, a health official said on Monday, downplaying fears of a fresh spike in the state as infections rise in the national capital region.
Director of Public Health Niranjan Mishra said, except for seven-eight districts of the state, others are reporting zero cases.
“As vaccination is good in the state, the symptoms will be less. So, there is no need to panic,” he told reporters.
“No new variant has been detected in the state,” Mishra said, adding that the situation was “under full control” and the state maintained surveillance.
