‘India may see rise in Covid cases in January; severe symptoms unlikely’

Covid-19 cases in India may witness a sharp uptick in January but are unlikely to cause severe symptoms or death, government sources said on Wednesday, citing past trends. China’s U-turn on travel restrictions at a time when it is grappling with a massive surge in infections is a concern as it could add to the caseload in India. However, the source said, complete restriction on flights between Hong Kong and India was unlikely and there was focus on tightening the screening methods instead.
