According to media reports, the country witnessed a major spike in Covid cases at the beginning of this year. The Omicron variant had then started wreaking havoc in the lives of citizens.
Reports claim that the third wave peaked on January 21, 2022, as over 3.47 lakh Covid cases were recorded since the previous day. Despite the high cases logged, the number was still less than the 4.14 lakh single-day cases recorded on May 7, 2021, during the second wave.
The country has successfully administered nearly 3.95 crore ‘booster doses’ since January 10, 2022. Earlier today, more than 2 lakh people in the age group of 18-59 years received their precautionary dose.
About 1.65 lakh senior citizens (aged above 60 years) received the precautionary dose today.
