Covid India today, lockdown measures in New Delhi

Lockdown measures are triggered in New Delhi where, with the new 63 Omicron infections registered, the official cases of the new variant of Covid rise to 142. But real numbers are feared to be much higher in the metropolis of 19 million, with 671 cases of Omicron sequenced across India. The new restrictions call for the closure of schools, universities and other educational institutions. Also closed gyms and sports complexes, cinemas, auditoriums, stadiums and swimming pools. In the offices, attendance must be 50%. Same reduction for bars and restaurants, which can only remain open until 10 in the evening. Measures also for the Delhi metro, where half of the passengers seated and none standing will be able to travel.
