After the increasing number of Covid cases in India, Niti Aayog showed concern regarding the situation. During a Press Conference on Friday, Niti Aayog member, Dr. VK Paul spoke about the future situations that India can face. He compared the situation of UK covid spike with India's population and said that "If we look at the scale of spread in the UK and if there is a similar outbreak in India, then given our population, there will be 14 lakh cases every day."


He also added that the government is also keeping an eye on the developments. "Genome sequencing of every sample is not possible. It is a surveillance and pandemic assessment and tracking tool, not a diagnostic tool as of now. We can assure sufficient systematic sampling is being undertaken," said Dr. Paul.


 The researchers are doing their work to understand the new variant. Omicron strain is mildly infectious.
 

India is on number two in Genome Sequencing. Cases are rapidly increasing. India has a total of 113 cases of Omicron Variant. Maharashtra is leading the list with a total of 40 cases. Capital of the country Delhi also has 22 cases of Omicron Variant.


Omicron is more infectious than the Delta variant. It is spreading at a faster rate. WHO labeled the strain highly mutated and transmissible. Britain has more than 14,000 cases of the Omicron variant. On Friday, Britain reported a total of 3,201 omicron cases which is the highest number of cases in a day so far. The number of daily reported cases is increasing day by day.


The British government reported 93,045 positive cases of Covid-19 on Friday, taking the total number of cases to 11,190,354 in the country.
 

 
ICMR Director General Balram Bhargava said that it is important to have low-intensity festivals and avoid non-essential outside activities. The unvaccinated are advised to get vaccinated at their earliest.


 India is reporting Omicron cases on daily basis. It has spread in 11 states and union territories of the country. India reported a total of 7,145 positive covid cases and 289 deaths in the last 24 hours.
