At today’s briefing, the Prime Minister announced that all new positive cases will be sent for genomic sequencing. “In the last few days, there has been an increase in COVID 19 cases in the city. Yesterday (Sunday) there were more than 100 people. I don’t know if this is a Covid case, a normal case, or a variant of Omicron. Indeed, we decided to send all positive samples for genomic sequencing, “he said. To prevent healthcare professionals and other citizens from receiving booster immunity to fight new COVID 19 variants like Omicron.
According to breaking news on Wednesday, Delhi’s health reported 57 cases with a positive rate of 0.10%. There are 1,442,197 confirmed cases of COVID19 in Delhi. More than 14.16 million patients have recovered from the disease and 50 have been discharged in the last 24 hours. However, the city is not facing a new wave of infection, citing a serological study by the government of Delhi that 96% of the population has antibodies and most are vaccinated.
It states that in April and May, Delhi fought the second wave of violent epidemics, killing many lives and lacking oxygen and essential medicines in hospitals. Delhi reported 28,395 cases on April 20, the highest number since the epidemic began last year. The positive rate on April 22 was a record high of 36.2%. May 3 was the deadliest with 448 people.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday that a surge in infectious diseases found in the capital would send all new Covid 19 cases to Omicron genome sequencing. The Prime Minister also urged the central government to agree to re-vaccination against the virus. “I’m asking the centre to approve the booster immunization of the COVID-19 vaccine in Delhi,” he said.

Hours after the centre announced that two people in Karnataka had tested positive for the omicron strain of the new coronavirus, Delhi`s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that India suspended flights from affected countries. “It’s sad,” he said. After the variant was discovered in South Africa and Europe, Chief Minister twice asked the prime minister to suspend flights in the country where the variant was discovered. Kejriwal tweeted in response to a tweet that two patients had tested positive for the Omicron strain.
In early December, travellers from countries where variants were detected, such as South Africa, the United Kingdom, and European Union countries, confirmed that they had to provide samples of cotton swabs at the airport. They cannot leave until the test results are available, and if they test positive, they will be admitted to Rokunayak Hospital. Samples are sent to a genomic test to determine which variant is infected.
Also, in December, we all learned that Kejriwal wrote in a letter to the Prime Minister: With great effort and selfless service from millions of Covid warriors, our country has recovered from Corona. We must do everything we can to prevent a recently recognized variant of concern from reaching India. Many countries, including the European Union, have stopped travelling to affected areas. We recommend that you stop flights from these areas immediately. Delays in this regard can prove harmful when affected individuals enter India. “
Omicron is a disease that continues to spread nationwide, and 159 variants have been recorded so far. These cases are expected to increase in the coming days.
To prevent the spread of the disease, Keziwar advised the public not to sag or wear masks to stop the transmission of the disease.
