Indraprastha Apollo Hospital's Senior Consultant in Internal Medicine stated that they were undoubtedly observing individuals with health issues returning from the Mahakumbh mela in Prayagraj, where a large number of people were taking a dip in the river.
"We would expect that this would happen," he added, referring to the fecal bacteria in the ganga at Prayagraj. Compared to the number of people that visit, a much smaller percentage of persons arrive with medical issues. In this sense, I believe the control is excellent, but it is true that individuals are arriving with symptoms similar to gastroenteritis, such as loose movements, vomiting, and other symptoms."
He claims that the pilgrims are suffering from an illness of unknown cause. The most likely cause of these fevers is a virus. Respiratory tract infections, such as colds, coughs, sneezes, and runny noses, are evidently quite prevalent and affect a large number of individuals.
"You may be exposed to this cold when you go to a crowded area and then take a dip, which may be at three in the morning. Individuals should bring their own water, either from home or in bottles, and they should either consume water from a reputable source or bring their own bottles," he said.
"The second thing is to eat food from a healthy place and eat cooked food instead of raw food," he said. Try to keep others away and wear a mask. He advised against drinking water when taking a dip in the river.
