Udupi, Sep 3: Noting that false information that lobbying is associated with the issuance of positive or negative reports relating to coronavrus infection, local MLA, K Raghupati Bhat, urged the people not to believe in such rumours. He asserted that these are false information.
"Initially, it was believed that Covid was not life threatening, and it was just an infectious disease. But the fact that the number of deaths among the infected persons has been increasing, has made us handle it with added seriousness," he noted. Therefore, he advised people who display Covid-like symptoms to get themselves tested immediately.
Bhat observed that the number of deaths increases when people stay home even after getting infected, and opt to get treated with delay. "The state government has undertaken necessary measures to save the lives of the patients. Those who display symptoms of the disease should get themselves tested at the health centres. If they do not have symptoms and have no other health-related complications, they can get treated at their homes," he advised.
