Because of the danger, the Delhi government has banned Christmas and New Year parties. The US FDA on Wednesday approved Pfizer's pill Paxlovid for the fight against the corona epidemic. Now Paxlovid tablets can be used in the treatment of the Covid epidemic of people at high risk of 12 years and above. However, it will take time for it to become available in India.

The government has so far confirmed 54 cases in Maharashtra, while the state government has reported 65 cases. The cases are seen to be increasing due to which people in the country are worried. This pill is like a major milestone in the COVID pandemic, which will go a long way in treating lakhs of people. The US has claimed to reduce the risk of death among people battling corona by making a tablet called Paxlovid.
Due to the rapid spread of Omicron in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will review the situation of Corona on Thursday. In a single day, 6,317 new cases of corona have been reported across the country, which is 18.6 percent more than Tuesday. During this time 318 patients have died due to corona. The Ministry of Health has warned that the corona spreads three times faster and hence the time has come to be careful. But even after this danger, there is no caution in the country.
This is the reason why the Center has also written a letter to the states to stop the third wave, saying that containment zones should be created in the district where the infection rate is more than 10 percent, curfew should be imposed at night. Along with reducing the number of people at weddings and funerals, it has been advised to implement strict rules in large gatherings. But many questions will be looked at in the PM's meeting

The worrying Omicron form of the Coronavirus is spreading rapidly in the country. Two experts from IIT Kanpur and Hyderabad have estimated through supermodel 'sutra' that due to Omicron form, the third wave of corona may be seen in the country after two months. Professor Manindra Agrawal of IIT Kanpur and Professor M Vidyasagar of IIT Hyderabad according to their theories that during the worst-case plan, the number of new cases of infection daily in February could be 1.5 lakh to 1.8 lakh. This can happen only if the Omicron variant reduces or inactivates the immunity created after vaccination or infection. Although Omicron's cases will start decreasing from March, instead of being worried, there is a need to be careful.
