According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), 83,18,43,406 samples have been tested up to April 16 for COVID-19. Of these 3,65,118 samples were tested on Saturday.

Meanwhile, after several reports of students getting affected from Covid after schools reopened, health experts are insisting that there is absolutely no need to panic since most cases have mild illnesses and most of them recover with just symptomatic treatment. The experts, however, stressed that children, who are eligible to get vaccinated against Covid, must get the jab. 

The health experts said consistent and appropriate use of masks, implementation of a standard protocol for sanitisation and hand washing are the key pillars of Covid-appropriate behaviour.

"There is no need to panic as data from past waves have clearly shown that children, even if they contract COVID-19, have mild illness and recover spontaneously with just symptomatic treatment," AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria told.

Therefore, eligible children should take the vaccine. But then even those who have not been vaccinated should not panic as chances of them getting a severe infection is very low, he said.
