NITI Aayog said - If the infection spread like Britain in India, then in the third wave up to 14 lakh cases would come daily.

NITI Aayog member VK Paul has expressed concern in the country amid increasing cases of corona across the world. In a press conference, Dr Paul said that if we look at the scale of Omicron's infection in Britain and compare it with the population of India, then it can be said that India will have 1.4 million cases daily if the infection spreads. He also said that genome sequencing of every case cannot be done.

He said that Omicron infection is being considered for the increasing case of corona, but everything is not clear about it yet. Research is going on on this and the government is keeping an eye on all the new developments. It is being said that the Omicron strain spreads only mild infections. He highlighted the pace of Omicron infections in Europe and compared it with the population of India.
