Covid-19: A factsheet on current situation in India
Daily Covid-19 infections in the country are on the rise primarily due to the Omicron variant.
After staying below the 10,000-mark for several days, India's daily cases of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) are on the rise yet again, with the Omicron variant contributing to a significant number of fresh infections. This latest surge in cases has prompted state governments to re-impose restrictions to contain the spread of the viral disease.
Also, even as Omicron continues to wreak havoc across the globe, a new, more mutated strain of coronavirus has been detected in France. Named IHU, French scientists have linked the variant to travel with Cameroon.
