LIVE: 250 Omicron cases in India, PM to review Covid situation today
Amid fresh concerns caused by the Omicron variant, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a meeting on the Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation in the country today. Official sources said Modi will take stock of the pandemic situation across the country.
The head of the World Health Organization warned Wednesday that blanket booster programmes in rich countries risk prolonging the world’s battle with Covid-19 and said that no country can boost its way out of the Covid-19 pandemic. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the priority must be to reduce deaths and help all countries meet minimum vaccination targets that many still haven’t reached. And he noted that the vast majority of hospitalisations and deaths are in unvaccinated people, not unboosted people.
