The Omicron variant is five times more transmissible than the Delta variant and has spread its tentacles around 70 countries. This information was shared by Odisha’s Public Health director Niranjan Mishra.

As schools in Odisha have reopened, the risk of COVID19 spread among the students is a matter of concern. Amid such threat, as many as 53 students of a girls’ high school tested positive for Covid-19 in Sundergarh.

After Covid-19 situation in south and western Odisha came under control, the State government has now diverted attention to the coastal districts where the situation is still a reason of concern.
