Coronavirus LIVE Updates: India Logs 6,563 Cases in 24 Hrs; 5 More Omicron Cases in Karnataka
Coronavirus LIVE Updates: In the last 24 hours, India reported 6,563 new cases, 132 deaths and 8,077 recoveries. The active caseload stands at 82,267- lowest in 572 days, as per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Top US pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci warned of a bleak winter ahead as the Omicron coronavirus variant spurs a new wave of infections globally, sparking restrictions and concerns over overwhelmed healthcare facilities. In the past 24 hours, after nearly six months Delhi recorded over 100 Covid-19 cases, while Mumbai reported 321 fresh cases.
Fauci told NBC, “One thing that’s very clear… is (Omicron’s) extraordinary capability of spreading, It is just… raging through the world.” Fauci also cautioned against too much optimism over Omicron’s severity, noting that in South Africa, while the hospitalization-to-case ratio is lower than with Delta, this could be due to underlying immunity from widespread previous infections.
