Delhi: Along with Omicron, covid cases are also on the rise in the country. Today, the number of Kovid cases rises to 16,700 per day. The highest daily covid cases in the last 71 days occurred in 24 hours. The biggest increase was in nine metro cities. The highest number of cases were reported in metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune and Nashik. The only consolation is that the mortality rate is relatively lower than it was at the beginning of the last Kovid wave. There are fears that the spread of Kovid in major cities of the country could affect industries and other sectors and could lead to economic setbacks.
