My laptop got stolen a few hours ago. It had all my data including bitcoin too.
Fortunately, I had the seeds with me and I have now installed Electrum on my work machine and recovered the wallet with those keys.
It also asked for a password and I have gone with a new one. The wallet is still Synchronizing.

Now my question is, are my bitcoins safe now? Do I need to do anything else? The stolen laptop has the electrum in it, what else should I do to make sure that my bitcoins are secure?

The best way is to create a new wallet and transfer all bitcoins into a new wallet. I think it will be the best option for you
Yes, I agree with you. I think it's also more secure. Because if you create a new wallet certainly though your Laptop is stolen, the thief doesn't know your new wallet.
