Dr. Randeep Guleria, director of AIIMS, said, ‘We should be prepared and hope that things do not get as bad as in Britain. We need more data. Whenever there is an increase in cases in other parts of the world, we should keep a close watch on it. Also, one should be ready to deal with any untoward incident.
Omicron cases are increasing rapidly in India. There are many states in India where cases of new variants of corona are increasing rapidly. Meanwhile, Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi has warned about Omicron. He has said that be ready for any eventuality.
In Britain, where the new form of coronavirus has created panic, in India too, the number of Omicron infected is increasing rapidly. In such a situation, AIIMS director Guleria said, ‘We should prepare with the hope that things do not get as bad as in Britain. We need more data. Whenever there is an increase in cases in other parts of the world, we should keep a close watch on it. Also, one should be ready to deal with any untoward incident.
Omicron, a new variant of the coronavirus, has spread in 12 states of India. Maharashtra currently has the highest number of 54 cases of Omicron. 22 in Delhi, 20 in Telangana, 17 in Rajasthan, 14 in Karnataka, 9 in Gujarat, 11 in Kerala, 2 in Uttar Pradesh, one each in Andhra Pradesh, Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. In this way, the number of people affected by Omicron in India has gone up to 153.
Worryingly, in India, Omicron is affecting even those who have completed their vaccinations. Apart from this, people without any travel history are also getting infected here. However, it is a matter of relief that none of Omicron’s cases have become serious.
