By January 15, the daily Covid attack in Delhi could reach 20,000-25,000. The number of hospital admissions may also increase, an official source said on Tuesday. Five and a half thousand people were newly infected with Covid in the capital on Tuesday.
The infection rate is 7.5 percent. There was speculation as to whether the rate of infection would increase in the capital. However, Health Minister Satyendra Jain has said that the government will not walk the path of lockdown now.
The number of Covid infections is increasing in the whole country. Due to Omicron, that number has increased a lot in one leap. The situation in Maharashtra and Delhi is dire. There were more than four thousand daily infections in the capital on Monday. But this number could reach even more alarming levels in the coming days.
At least that is what the official source is indicating. According to a top source in the Union Ministry of Health, the daily infection will reach 8-9 thousand in Delhi by January 8 and more than 20 thousand by next weekend.
At the same time, warnings have been given that Omicron should not be taken lightly in any way. The source further said that the number of admissions in various hospitals in the capital, including AIIMS, is increasing, which is a matter of great concern. The government source thinks that the more the infection increases, the more the number of hospital admissions will increase.
