Amid a new mystery pneumonia outbreak, China has reintroduced masks and social distancing measures, reminiscent of the COVID-19 lockdown era. The focal point of the outbreak in Beijing’s northern region has witnessed a surge in pneumonia cases, particularly impacting pediatric hospitals, where the number of children with symptoms such as high fever, lung inflammation, and cold is overwhelming healthcare facilities.
In response, Karnataka’s health department has heightened vigilance, mobilizing healthcare resources statewide. This proactive stance follows a directive from the Central government to States and Union Territories, urging an immediate review of public health protocols and hospital readiness.
