New Delhi: When India reported an increase of more than 6.3 times in the case of Covid in the last eight days along with an increase in everyday case positivity from 0.79% at 29 to 5.03% on January 5, the center on Wednesday warned against “Gentiveness narrative” and said the increase in Covid-19 infection was happening in cities where Omicron was the dominant tension.
Although currently hospitalized is low compared to the second wave driven by a more severe Delta variant, officials warn of self-satisfaction and say this pandemic is now in the exponential spread phase that has the potential to flood the health care system.
“We see a steep increase in case.
There is exponential deployment.
Obviously, this is a growing pandemic,” said member of the Niti Aayog member Dr.
V K Paul said.
“When the kasing goes up, even a small portion requires hospitalization will be a big number.
We have to slow this.
Use a mask, observe social distance.
If not, there will be pressure on health services.
The system can be overwhelmed.
We can’t take narration ‘ This tenderness’ and became satisfied, “said Paul.
