Post third surge in January 2022, SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) has entered a new phase
in the country. A sustained low incidence level of mild clinical severity and very low rates of
hospitalization due to various factors such as enhanced surveillance, focus on case management
and high vaccination coverage has supported country’s COVID-19 management efforts.
Therefore, presently there is a need to have a surveillance strategy that would enable a close
monitoring of the situation for early identification of cases.
