He said opt for hospital if you cannot manage good care in home isolation and use food/items that boost immunity such as neem leaves, etc. “If we get infected, we should stay at home if we have adequate facility and health condition allows. Else, we should get ourselves admitted to hospital,” he added.

“Elderly and children need special care and they should not go out unnecessarily,” said Prasad.

Across UP, 31718683 homes have been surveyed, covering 15.38 crore people, he said.
