61 Covid cases reported in Rajkot since May 19
Rajkot: Rajkot has recorded 61 Covid-19 cases since May 19, including nine fresh cases reported on June 3, according to the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC). Of these, 18 patients have recovered while 43 remain under treatment — all in home isolation with stable health conditions.
Most of the infected people — aged between 26 and 57 years — had received at least two doses of the vaccine and had no recent travel history, RMC officials said.
The civic body stated that the current cases in Gujarat are primarily Omicron subvariants and the XFG recombinant strain, which typically cause mild symptoms such as fever, sneezing, and cold. Patients have been advised to seek medical help if they develop breathing issues or chest pain. Those with comorbidities have been urged to wear masks and avoid crowded places.
"The rise in Covid cases every six to eight months is a trend we are observing. There's no cause for panic — only precautions are necessary," a health officer said.
