Covid spreading faster than it was in second national wave: Data

Hindustan Times  

New infections of Covid-19 across India are rising faster than they did even during the brutal second wave in April-May last year, data analysed by HT showed, indicating that the latest surge fuelled by the Omicron variant may follow the trend seen across the world, where it has outpaced all previous waves. India on Sunday reported 33,647 new Covid-19 infections, the highest in a single day since September 17, or in 107 days, according to HT’s Covid dashboard, as the country’s latest surge in cases continued to push daily case numbers up to levels not seen since the second wave was brought under control in the first half of 2021. Just five days ago, the weekly growth rate of average daily cases was in the negative, meaning the wave was contracting compared to preceding week. It also means that if the current weekly growth rate persists, the case curve may double to 36,000 daily cases within seven days.
