Just as we thought the pandemic was coming to an end, the surge in COVID-19 cases in China has alarmed people around the world. The latest variant - BF.7 sub-variant of Omicron - is believed to be driving the increasing number of infections in the country, despite the Zero COVID policy, which was only recently relaxed.
Four cases of the same coronavirus variant have been reported in India so far, urging the government to issue certain precautionary guidelines and the people to continue practicing COVID-appropriate behaviour. However, the real question is whether the BF.7 Omicron subvariant will lead to a new wave of coronavirus in India?
