As Covid cases in India have seen an upward trend in the past few days, Union health minister Monday said that there is a need to remain vigilant. "We need to remain alert but there is no need to worry. Currently, the sub-variant of Omicron which is circulating in the country hasn't increased hospitalisations," he said.
