Hospitalizations are up in Delhi as the city reports a surge in coronavirus cases, authorities warned on Tuesday, urging people to wear masks and take COVID-19 precautions.

"We are witnessing a rise in COVID-19 infections, consistently high positivity and cases of reinfection. It is essential that we realise that the pandemic is not yet over. I appeal to all to strictly follow precautions. We cannot afford to let our guards down," Delhi's Lt Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena tweeted.

Even after 2 years, increased risk of neurological and psychiatric conditions such as dementia and seizures is still higher due to coronavirus, suggests an observational study of over 1.25 million patient health records published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal.

The increased risk of depression and anxiety in adults lasts less than two months before returning to rates comparable to those after other respiratory infections.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been growing evidence that survivors might be at increased risk of neurological and psychiatric conditions.

A previous observational study by the same research group reported that COVID-19 survivors are at increased risk of several neurological and mental health conditions in the first six months after infection.
