Patients of Omicron, the new variant of Corona, have not needed ICU or ventilators or oxygen beds. So don’t worry. This time we are 10 times more prepared to deal with the corona virus. There are pictures of crowd in the market and mall that people are not wearing masks. Now such pictures should not come that the market is crowded, people are not wearing masks or else the market will have to be closed and it will cause financial problems.
What is Yellow Alert?
‘Yellow’ alert is issued when the Kovid infection rate remains more than 0.5 percent for two consecutive days. This includes measures such as imposing night curfew, closure of schools and colleges, opening of non-essential goods shops on an odd-even basis and halving the seating capacity of passengers in metro trains and public transport buses.
