In addition, the total number of Omicron instances has now reached 4,033.
With the current rate of surge in cases, India will soon cross the 2-lakh mark.
Due to an increase in coronavirus cases in the country, health and frontline workers, as well as senior persons with comorbidities, will receive precautionary third doses of Covid-19 vaccine starting today.
Many doctors and healthcare workers have contracted Covid as a result of the Omicron-driven epidemic. Several states, including Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Bengal, have enforced night and weekend curfews to prevent the spread of the disease.
