New Delhi India has been witnessing a rapid increase in the cases of coronavirus in the last one month. There is also a steady increase in the number of new coronavirus variants, Omicron, which was first discovered in South Africa.
On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi informed that 90% of the eligible population had been given the first dose of vaccine against the novel coronavirus.
He also informed that in the last few days around 1.5 crore children in the age group of 15-18 have been given the first dose of vaccine against COVID-19.
