Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday asked the public not to panic amid the ongoing global Covid surge but be alert and follow the guidelines issued by the Centre.

“Everyone is looking at India today and our Covid management is one of the major reasons why. It was all possible because of the government, healthcare workers and a common goal to tame the virus,” he said during the inauguration ceremony of Bharti Super Speciality Hospital, Pune. (ANI)
