COVID-19 Cases Will Drop In Most States By Mid-March: ICMR

New Delhi: All states are going to see a drop in fresh COVID-19 cases, according to Samiran Panda, head of epidemiology and infectious diseases division at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

“We did a modelling study. We are projecting that by mid-March, all the states will see infections coming down,” Panda was quoted as saying.

While cases will drop earlier in some states, in others it will do so by mid-March, he said.

On infections caused by a combination of Delta and Omicron, Panda was quoted as saying, “It might not be fatal or fast-spreading. We need to be vigilant, but not panic.”
