Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), stated on Sunday that in light of the mounting COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom, India should be prepared for any eventuality. “We should be ready and hope that things aren’t as awful as they are in the UK. More information on Omicron is required. When there is a spike in instances in other parts of the world, we need to keep a careful eye on it and be ready for anything. It is preferable to be well-prepared than to be caught off guard “ANI quoted Guleria as saying.
The Omicron type is rapidly expanding, particularly in the United States, which has already been devastated by the second wave of coronavirus sickness (Covid-19). According to a Reuters tally, hospitalizations have increased 45 percent in the last month, and cases have increased 40 percent.
Over 100 cases of Omicron have been documented in India thus far. The new COVID-19 variation B.1.1.529, which was discovered in South Africa, was given the name ‘Omicron’ by the WHO on November 26. Omicron is a ‘variant of concern,’ according to the World Health Organization.
