- Dr VK Paul- ‘Europe has also gone through the wave of delta variants and is facing a severe phase of Omicron, despite 80 percent partial vaccination.’
New Delhi: Dr VK Paul, a member of the Central Government’s NITI Aayog, has given a big warning about the dangerous variants of Corona. Paul has said that in the midst of frequent cases of Omicron variants in the country, many cases of Omicron have come to the fore in India. If it spreads at a much faster rate in India as a result of the scale of infection in Britain and France, then millions of cases could be reported in a day. India now has 101 Omicron cases in 11 states and union territories.
VK Paul gave a serious warning saying, “If we look at the scale of the spread in the UK and if there is an outbreak like that in India too, looking at our population, there will be around 1.4 million cases every day. France is reporting 65,000 cases. Considering our population, this would mean 13 lakh cases every day.”

He advised caution against unnecessary travel, crowds and New Year celebrations. “It is a time to avoid non-essential travel, a time to avoid mass gatherings, a time for less crowded festivities and a simple New Year’s time,” he said.
