The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Tuesday announced the cancellation of doctors’ winter vacation amid rising Covid cases.

In a notice issued on Monday, the AIIMS Delhi has directed all faculty members to join back their duty with immediate effect at the hospital.

“In continuation of the office memoranda of dated December 22 and 27, it is to inform that the Competent Authority has decided to cancel the remaining part of the winter vacation from 5th to 10th January due to ongoing Covid 19 and Omicron pandemic,” said the notice issued by the hospital administration with approval of AIIMS Director.

Meanwhile, India continues to project a surge in daily Covid caseload. A single-day rise of 37,479 Covid cases along with 124 deaths were reported on Tuesday morning. With the addition of 124 new deaths, the total deaths toll has climbed to 4,82,017. Along with the spike in daily Covid caseload, the active cases have also seen two-fold growth from the last week. The active caseload has jumped at 1,71,830 which constitute 0.49 per cent of the country’s total positive cases.

The Omicron infection tally has reached 1,892 across the nation. However, out of the total Omicron positive, 766 have been discharged from hospitals. So far 23 states have reported Omicron infection, said the Union health ministry on Tuesday.

India has seen the sudden spike in the Covid cases after the outbreak of new Covid varaint Omicron. The Delta varaint is still the dominant variant in India which has contributed significantly in the surge. However, a source with the ministry said that Omicron will take over the delta variant soon in the country.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear that the lockdown will not be implemented. If anyone spreads rumors and shares misleading information on social media, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, a criminal case will be registered against him. The Chief Minister said that the Central Government has made it clear regarding the lockdown that the lockdown will not be implemented, so do not spread such rumors. On the shortage of gas and oil in the Iran-Israel war, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that India has a month’s supply of oil and gas, so no one should try to create an artificial shortage and do not hoard by lining up at the petrol pump. If anyone does so, it will create an artificial shortage. To prevent oil prices from increasing due to the war, 10% excise duty has been reduced so that consumers do not have to bear the burden of this. The oil companies will bear it, and the government will also cooperate in this. He said that even in a crisis situation, the situation in India is better. He has made it clear that a cut was made in the commercial cylinder, but it has now been brought to 50%. He said that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel and please do not spread any rumors. The situation is better. Even in such situations, no charge has been increased on anything including petrol and diesel. For this, I thank the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Due to India’s better foreign policy, the situation will soon return to normal.
