New Delhi, December 29, 2021 :
While assuring the people of Delhi, Health Minister Satyendar Jain stated that the Delhi government is prepared at every level to deal with Corona. He said that there is an adequate supply of oxygen, medications, and beds and we are constantly monitoring the situation and are prepared to take all necessary steps. The majority of Omicron cases have been found in international travellers. So far, 238 cases of Omicron have been reported in Delhi. After recovering, 57 of these people have returned home. Health Minister Satyendar Jain stated that we have increased our vaccination capacity and can now perform up to three lakh vaccinations per day. Preparations for administering vaccines to children and booster doses to the elderly beginning in the first week of January have been completed. He has appealed to everyone to panic in the face of Omicron, but exercise caution.
On Tuesday, Health Minister Satyendar Jain provided detailed information on the situation in Delhi regarding the new corona virus variant, Omicron. He stated that 238 Omicron cases had been reported in Delhi. 57 of these patients have recovered and returned home. In Delhi, there are four Genome Sequencing Labs that are fully operational. Omicron variants are less severe and less lethal than Delta variants. People who come to Delhi from other countries are found to be the most infected with this variant. At the moment, no patient requires oxygen, and the majority of patients have only minor symptoms.
Satyendar Jain stated that if the number of corona cases increases, the Delhi government may impose additional restrictions. If the infection rate (positivity rate) remains above 1% for two days in a row, Delhi will be issued with a level two amber alert. On the issuance of the Amber Alert, all schools, colleges, parks, restaurants (except home delivery), and so on will remain closed in Delhi; only essential services will be exempted. The curfew at night will be tightened even more. The situation is being closely monitored by the Health Department. If required, the Delhi government is prepared to take all necessary steps. All public health crisis experts are in contact with the Delhi government and are cooperating with the government in all aspects of the situation.
Jain also stated that the Delhi government is prepared to use all available resources to combat Corona. There is an adequate supply of oxygen, medications, and beds in hospitals. Preparations for the vaccination of children and booster doses for the elderly in the first week of January have been completed. The vaccines will be administered at the centres that have been already established.
The Health Minister has urged residents to strictly adhere to Covid appropriate behaviour. He urged people to wear masks and practise social distancing in public places to ensure their safety, and he stated that there is no need to panic about Corona; only precaution can protect them. The Omicron variant is a variant of the corona itself, and the treatment and prevention protocol is the same as before. Everyone must wear a mask and maintain social distance. During this time, he also urged people to take both doses of the corona vaccine.
