In India, the infection of the new coronavirus has spread rapidly since the end of last month, and the number of infected people per day exceeded 100,000 on the 7th, which was more than 117,000.
The Indian government announced on the 7th that 117,100 people were newly infected with the new coronavirus per day.
It is the first time since June last year that the number of newly infected people has exceeded 100,000.
In India, the number of people infected per day decreased to less than 10,000 after an explosive spread of more than 400,000 people in May last year.
However, since the end of last month, the infection has spread rapidly again, especially in large cities such as the capital city of New Delhi and the commercial city of Mumbai.
In addition, the Omicron strain of the mutant virus has been infected one after another, and the number has reached more than 3,000 so far.
For this reason, many states are banned from going out at night, and New Delhi will take measures to ban going out during the day, except for healthcare professionals, from this week to the weekend.
In addition, the international event, which is held every two years to attract investment in India at the request of Prime Minister Modi, has been postponed next week, and the impact is spreading.
The Indian government has expanded the vaccination target for people aged 18 and over from the 3rd of this month to those aged 15 and over, and will start additional vaccinations for medical professionals from next week.
