When contrasted with every one of the variations previously, the side effects have become less serious now,” says Dr Mohamed Saifeldin Abdelrahman Mohamed, Pulmonologist, Thumbay University Hospital.

A great deal of it would rely upon how contaminated patients are clinically investigated, trailed by studies directed before very long. Considering that, it seems the Covid could ultimately turn into a basic occasional disease, self-restricting and can’t be accounted as a pandemic like previously.,” added Dr Mohammed.
