In the past 24 hours, the total number of Omicron variants in each state reached 415, so with the support of new Omicron variants of the virus, the threat of the country’s third wave of coronavirus appears to be increasing. According to the latest health announcement issued by the government, Maharashtra has the largest number of new variant cases with 108 cases, followed by the capital, which has so far tracked 79 such cases. Other states that track large numbers of Omicron variants include Gujarat (43), Telangana (38), Kerala (37) and Tamil Nadu (34). In the past few days, the total number of coronavirus cases seems to be gradually increasing, and the positive rate of infection in several regions including Delhi and Maharashtra has been rising. The total number of Covid-19 cases reported in the country in the past 24 hours is 7,189 new infections. In the past 24 hours, the number of Covid-19 patients who died of the disease remained at 387.
After weeks of waiting and watching, the center and the state government have made it clear that the threat of the fourth wave of Covid-19 in the country is real, and the government has begun to take preventive measures. On Friday, the central government stated that the world is witnessing the fourth wave of coronavirus and asked the public not to relax their vigilance and take all possible measures to curb the spread of the disease. The government also warned that the Omicron variant has a higher transmission rate in households than the previous variant.
The government shared a set of key data related to the recent Omicron case found in the country. The Ministry of Health stated that 90% of Omicron infections are in fully vaccinated people, so relying on vaccines alone will not help curb the new wave.
With the growing threat of the third wave of the coronavirus, the state governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have imposed curfews to curb the spread of the virus. The two state governments also limit the number of guests allowed for social and public gatherings to 200 people. Earlier, the Delhi government banned all Christmas and New Year celebrations, fearing that the celebrations might set off a new wave of coronavirus in the city.
