What is the spread of Covid-19 in India?
First Wave :
The first instance of the Covid-19 virus was discovered in India on January 30, 2020, in Kerala. As the number of reported cases increased, the government was obliged to implement a countrywide lockdown on March 25, 2020. During the lockdown, the number of cases increased steadily, reaching a high of 90,000 a day in mid-September. As the number of Covid-19 instances decreased over the next several months, the limitations were eliminated. By February 2021, the number of daily cases had dropped to 10,000.
Second wave: In March 2021, the country was hit by a devastating second wave. A lack of hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, and medications exacerbated the problem. On April 9, India surpassed Brazil to become the world's second worst-affected country. By the end of April, the nation had reported over 400,000 cases every day. It is believed that the second wave killed 2 lakh people.
The Omicron wave:
By the end of December 2021, the number of daily cases had dropped to 6,000. However, the discovery of a new strain of the Covid-19 virus Omicron in South Africa has put the country on the verge of a pandemic. The country was reporting 2.82 lakh cases per day as of January 19, 2022.
