Infection will spread rapidly in January-February, 2 lakh covid beds will have to be prepared

On December 2, for the first time in India, 2 cases of Omicron were found in Karnataka and now after just 24 days, the cases of Omicron have crossed 400. Experts believe that if the rate of increase in the cases of corona virus variant Omicron remains the same in January-February, then in the month of March, the number of daily Covid cases in India can go up to 1.8 lakhs. After reaching this peak, the country will need about 2 lakh Covid beds.

Experts have been warning that now we should seriously start preparing for hospitalization. At the same time, political rallies, religious festivals and crowds can prove to be dangerous for Omicron infection.

On Friday, the Health Ministry released an analysis of the initial 183 Omicron data found in India. Out of this, information about the vaccination status of 96 people was available. Out of these 96 people, 87 people were fully vaccinated, out of which 3 people had also taken a booster dose. Two people had taken only one dose of the vaccine, while 7 people did not take the vaccine. This means that people who have taken the Covid vaccine are also getting infected with the Omicron variant. But experts say that Omicron does not have a fatal effect on people with Vaccinade.
