Mumbaikars have been experiencing mixed weather for the last few days, where a part of the day is pleasant, rainy or hot; and many have been complaining about this strange condition. Some of the localities have also suffered fever, headache and cold, and the infections have increased due to the weather.

Cases of malaria have increased over the last few days, and officials have received information regarding the panic spread among the people, as they are worried about having coronavirus related fever.

Besides this, officials have also stated that the number of patients with fever have increased marginally in comparison to the previous month. However, most of these patients do not show coronavirus symptoms and are suffering from generic viral fever due to the change in weather. Teams are conducting tests as a precautionary measure, and care is being offered to ensure the fever subsides after timely medical treatment.

The possibility of infectious diseases being caused by climate change cannot be ruled out. Keeping this in mind, the concerned departments have asked the people to get themselves check to incase of symptoms like cold, cough, fever, etc. It is said that many people even today, are not cooperating with the government in this regards, and despite having symptoms they stay with the family.
