The capital, Delhi, ranks second in the list of 23 states and union territories (UT) with 351 cases, followed by Tamil Nadu (118), Gujarat (115) and Kerala (109). The spread of Omicron led to the New Year’s New Year. The metro city is its main target, which is why the police imposed strict restrictions in Delhi, Mumbai and other metro cities.

On Friday, the last day of 2021, Delhi recorded 1,796 new Covid-19 cases, while the number of cases in Maharashtra soared by 8,067 cases.

Maharashtra State Disaster Management Minister Vijay Wadtivar said on Friday that the phase of implementing a new blockade in the state is coming, but Chief Minister Udhav Thackeray will make the final decision on this.

After the spread of Omicron, the government of Maharashtra has imposed new restrictions, limiting the number of people attending weddings and other gatherings.

The state’s other chief secretary (health), Dr. Pradeep Vyas, said on Friday that by the third week of January, the state may report a total of 200,000 active Covid-19 cases.

In view of the increasing number of cases of Covid-19 and its Omicron variant, the police in Mumbai on Friday banned people from going to beaches, open areas, seas, promenades, gardens, parks or similar public places between 5 pm and 5 am and January 15 .

Tracking website FlightAware shows that due to the shortage of airline personnel due to the Omicron variant of the new coronavirus, more than 2,800 flights worldwide were cancelled on Thursday, and nearly 12,000 flights were delayed.
