Inspite of many restrictions in India, Omicron has entered our nation and has been causing many issues.

It must be noted that the R value has reduced to 1.57 from January 14th to 21st of January. It is known that R value refers to the spreading intensity of the Coronavirus infection. It has been found out that the intensity of the third wave of infection would increase in the next 14 days.
