New Delhi: 

People with no travel history are being infected with the Omicron Covid variant and this suggests it is now spreading in the community, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said Thursday, sounding a grim warning as the confirmed number of cases of the new strain near 1,000 in India.

In Delhi 46 of 115 samples sequenced so far have tested positive for Omicron, Mr Jain said, adding that there were 200 COVID-19 patients (of all known strains) in hospital at this time. 115 others, including foreign arrivals, are asymptomatic but are in hospitals as a precaution.
