Covid Update: Over 1 Lakh Covid Cases Recorded In India

New Delhi: India reported 1,17,100 fresh COVID-19 cases on Friday, over 28 per cent higher than the previous day’s cases. Delhi’s daily Covid cases shot up by 15 per cent on Friday after 17,335 fresh cases were detected in 24 hours.

Several Covid restrictions have been imposed in the national capital as the surge continues. A weekend curfew from 10 pm Friday to 5 am Monday has also been put in place. Only essential services will be allowed during these hours.

Omicron is causing record numbers of cases around the world, and though it causes less severe Covid-19, experts warn this wave still threatens to overwhelm health systems. Six weeks after it was first sequenced in southern Africa Omicron cases are smashing infection records with average new daily cases at nearly two million this week, according to an AFP tally.

The World Health Organization has said that the spread of Omicron was down to a combination of factors including the make-up of the Covid-19 variant and increased social mixing.

“As the controversy over PM Modi’s Security breach continues, the BJP and Congress have been engaged in a war of words. On the other hand, the issue has also resulted in legal issue between State of Punjab and the Union Govt of India. While the BJP blames Congress ruled state for breach in PM Modi’s security, Congress says the responsibility of PM’s security is on SPG. Yesterday, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel even called it a drama by Prime Minister.

Now, Punjab pradesh Congress Committee chief Navjot Singh Sidhu repeated Congress’ allegation that PM Modi went back because of empty chairs at the rally and not because of security breach.

He said “”How can PM address 7,000 chairs in which 500 people are sitting in a rally.”” He also said that “”All the real issues of the state, be it farmers or unemployment have been put to the backburner.””
