According to data released by the Union Health Ministry on Thursday, India recorded 3,17,532 new Coronavirus infections, the most in 249 days, bringing the total number of Covid-19 cases to 3,82,18,773, including 9,287 instances of the Omicron variety. According to the Health Ministry, the number of active cases has risen to 19,24,051, the most in 234 days, while the death toll has risen to 4,87,693 with 491 new fatalities. The active cases now make up 5.03 percent of all infections, according to the report, while the national Covid-19 recovery rate has dropped to 93.09 percent.

India recorded 2,82,970 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, roughly 45,000 more than the day before. Though some cities, including as Delhi and Mumbai, have seen a decrease in new Coronavirus infections, some states, such as Kerala, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, continue to report high numbers. Are we approaching the pinnacle of the third wave? Manindra Agrawal, an IIT Kanpur scientist, claims that the number of new Covid-19 cases in Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata has peaked in the last seven days. According to him, Covid-19 instances would surge this week in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Haryana, and next week in areas like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Tamil Nadu. According to Agrawal, the third wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in India may peak on January 23, with daily cases likely to remain below 4 lakh.

According to a new study, Omicron infection may not result in broad immunity that protects against other variations in uninfected people. This paper emphasises the importance of immunisation in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. Until January 18, India has provided about 158 crore doses of Covid-19 vaccinations (first, second, and precaution doses combined).

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems.
