Coronavirus Vaccine Registration, Coronavirus Omicron Variant Cases in India Live Updates: India on Monday morning reported 16,051 new Covid-19 cases, taking the total tally in the country up to 42.84 million, as per the official data updated by the Union health Health Ministry. The total cases of Covid-19 fatalities was reported to be 206 in the last 24 hours, taking the total death toll to 512,109.
As coronavirus cases show a consistent decline in recent days, India is getting back to normalcy. With offices, schools reopening and local authorities lifting Covid restrictions across, the country may finally have entered the Covid green zone. On Sunday, India registered less than 20,000 daily new cases. This was the lowest figure of new daily infections since December 31st, 2021.
Apart from the cases, what’s working for that nation right now is the steady pace of the Covid vaccination. Official data suggests that as of now, 80 per cent of the eligible adult population has received both doses of Covid vaccine.
On global level, the UK is also witnessing an ebb in new Covid infections. British prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that all kinds of Covid curbs will come to an end next week. The new ‘living with Covid’ policy also means lesser testing and no need of self-isolation. Health experts, however, say that dropping the guard may inevitably result in a new variant. In Hong Kong, situation remains grim.
