Only those who are not vaccinated face more problems,” he added.
Delhi reported the first case of the Omicron variant three weeks ago, on December 6, when a 33-year-old man recently returned from Tanzania was tested positively.

However, it is still earlier to conclude if there are cases with symptoms too.
That is why people must strictly follow Covid’s safety norms at any time and Fully vaccinated as soon as possible because of their second dose, “said a health official.
