Omicron which had already peaked earlier this year. So catching a severe infection from its subvariant for the second time is highly unlikely.
Last week, while speaking about the sudden surge in cases, Dr Sanjay Rai, Professor at Centre for Community Medicine dept at AIIMS, Delhi, said, “The number of cases might increase which doesn't matter much as RNA virus keeps mutating.
Increased severity & death toll matters, which is unlikely." Explaining the reason behind the sudden COVID surge, Rai told news agency ANI, “these types of viruses don't end quickly and fluctuations will keep happening.
We should move toward normalcy." And, he further assured that as compared to second and third waves, the situation in our country can be considered great right now.
