The next 40 days will be crucial because, according to official sources who highlighted the history of prior outbreaks on Wednesday, India would experience a spike in COVID-19 cases in January. “In the past, it has been noted that a new COVID-19 wave usually affects India 30–35 days after it strikes East Asia. This has become a trend, a representative stated. However, according to authorities at the health ministry, the virus is not as severe. According to them, there won’t be many deaths or hospitalizations, even if there is a wave.
The government has issued a notice and ordered states and Union Territories to be ready for anything due to a rise in COVID-19 instances in various nations, notably China and South Korea. Meetings have been held between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to evaluate the nation’s readiness to handle a recent spike in cases. The Omicron sub-variant BF-7 is what is behind the most recent increase in instances. According to official sources, this BF-7 sub-varient is highly contagious and can infect up to 16 additional people at once.
