According to government officials, 80% of the Covid-19 positive cases are asymptomatic and anticipated to rise in the upcoming weeks. According to experts, cases will keep rising until the Omicron subvariants BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5 become prominent. Therefore sticking to the Covid regimen is advised, particularly wearing an N-95 mask, being vaccinated,  immediate isolation if tested positive, and getting tested in case of suspected symptoms.

Currently, since the majority of cases are mild to moderate, symptoms usually go away 3–4 days after they first appear, and people recover in about 7 days.

The general director of Continental Hospitals in Hyderabad stated that community transmission was occurring silently and at a passive level. As more people stopped taking precautions after receiving their booster doses, the number of cases is increasing. The fact that the majority of patients are not informed of their Covid status and are maintaining an active social life was also contributing to the increase. (Times of India, Jul 7, 2022)
