Kejriwal said that the severity of Omicron cases is milder in comparison to the Delta variant of last year.
Active Covid-19 cases rose from about 2,000 on December 29 to 6,000 on January 1, 2021, but the number of patients in hospitals dipped in this period, said the chief minister.
Only 82 oxygen beds are occupied in hospitals, 99.78 per cent unoccupied while there are about 6,000 active Covid-19 cases in Delhi, added CM Kejriwal.바카라 웹사이트
