Omicron Cases In India

India recorded 12,591 news COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, 20 per cent higher than yesterday. Medical experts have said Omicron sub-variant XBB.1.16 could be driving the surge in cases.

India has logged 10,158 fresh Covid-19 cases over the past 24 hours. It is believed that the Omicron subvariant, XBB.1.16 is driving the latest surge in the country.

Amid a spurt in fresh Covid infections, 234 cases of XBB1.16.1 mutated sub-variant have been found in the country, according to INSACOG data.

The new Covid-19 variant, XBB.1.16 is responsible for the surge in cases in India. According to the Health Ministry data, India has reported a total of 5,880 covid cases in the last 24 hours.

Symptoms of this variant include fever that gradually climbs and lasts for 1-2 days, sore throat, bodily soreness, headaches and abdominal discomfort.

In the wake of rising COVID cases in India, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday said that Omicron's sub-variant which is circulating in the country has not led to the increase in hospitalisations and there is no need to worry.

The Union Health Ministry said on Thursday that the XBB.1.16 subvariant of Omicron might be the dominant virus strain in the country but there has been no reported increase in the rate of hospitalisation or death so far.

Four cases of Omicron subvariant BF.7 were detected in West Bengal, a health official said on Wednesday.

As an Omicron subvariant fuels an alarming wave of infections in China, another sublineage of this strain has put the US on edge: XBB 1.5. The first case linked to this subvariant was detected in India on Friday.

2022 saw a new wave of infections driven by the Omicron variant of coronavirus which ultimately subsided, putting India along with the world on the route to normalcy before fresh concerns arose amid rise in cases globally at the fag end of the year.

Four foreign nationals have tested positive following RTPCR tests at Bihar's Gaya Airport and have been kept in isolation at a hotel.

Rising Covid cases in China are mainly driven by the BF.7 strain of Omicron variant of coronavirus, which has been detected in India too. Numbers may be small but here is why the government is worried, and what you should be alert to.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said no case of Omicron's BF.7 variant, which is driving the surge in China, has been found in the national capital and so, there's no need to panic.

"4 cases of Omicron sub-variant driving Chinese surge were reported in Gujarat and Odisha in July, September & November," Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said on Twitter.

There has been an alarming surge in Covid cases in China, Japan, South Korea, France, and the United States. The spike is being blamed on new Omicron sub-variant BF.7, which has also been detected in four Indian states.
