The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned the world that due to the softening of the widespread testing campaign by many countries, the cases of corona are likely to increase once again. The WHO said the number of new cases should be interpreted with caution. WHO Europe’s chief doctor Hans Kluge said on Wednesday that many countries of the continent had lifted corona restrictions in the past, after which cases have increased significantly in Britain, France, Italy and Germany in recent days.
The World Health Organization said that the number of fresh COVID-19 cases globally increased by 7 percent in the last week, although the decline in coronavirus deaths has been painful. According to the United Nations Health Agency’s report on the pandemic, there were more than 12 million new weekly cases and fewer than 33,000 deaths. According to the report, the death rate has come down by 23%.
Omicron BA.2 causing havoc in many countries
Let us tell you that in many countries of Asia and Europe, there is a huge jump in the number of new cases of corona virus every day since last week. The worst situation remains in South Korea and Germany. A sub-variant of Omicron is believed to be the reason behind the rapidly increasing cases of corona. A new sub-variant, the Stealth Omicron, also known as the BA.2 has surfaced.

Omicron’s sub-variant BA.2 has led to a huge increase in corona cases in Europe. If we talk about India, there is a huge drop in corona cases at present, but experts have already warned that the fourth wave of corona may come in the country. However, many scientists say that the forecast of the arrival of the fourth wave may be a speculation.
Characteristics of Omicron BA.2
Recently, a recent study by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur said that it is possible that the fourth wave of the COVID-19 epidemic may start from June 22 and last till mid-August. IIT Kanpur researcher S. The study by Prasad Rajesh Bhai, Shubhra Shankar Dhar and Shalabh said that it is possible that the new variants of the virus will have a wider impact.
The worrying thing is that even its symptoms are surprising. In case of any variant of corona virus you may feel stomach related symptoms but in Omicron BA.2 you may face bowel related problems. Patients suffering from Omicron BA.2 may experience symptoms such as nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, stomach irritation and bloating.
Corona restrictions will be removed in India from March 31
In view of the ever-increasing cases of corona virus infection, the Union Home Ministry has decided to remove all restrictions related to COVID-19 from March 31, after nearly two years. However, the rules of wearing masks and maintaining social distance will remain in force.
For the first time on March 24, 2020, the Central Government had issued several guidelines under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to prevent the spread of corona virus infection in the country and also made changes from time to time according to the circumstances.
