Major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata are recording a sharp daily jump in coronavirus cases.
A sharp rise in Covid-19 cases in India over the past week has sparked fears that a third wave, driven by Omicron, is around the corner.This is the highest single-day increase in cases since October.
India experienced a devastating second wave in April and May, with daily averages of around 400,000 cases at the peak of the crisis. Caseloads dropped significantly since then - for many months the national tally remained well under 10,000 cases a day. Many countries, including India, have imposed travel restrictions after the World Health Organization designated it a variant of concern.published in the UK and South Africa suggest that fewer people infected with Omicron need hospital treatment when compared with other variants.
India has partially vaccinated almost 90% of its eligible population till now, but that still leaves close to 100 million adults who haven't received a single dose of the vaccine.Millions of Indians also have comorbidities - conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity - which makes them more vulnerable to severe illness if they get infected.
