India's financial capital has been witnessing a sudden and massive surge in Covid cases believed to be driven by the Omicron variant.

Mumbai today posted a 33 per cent hike in daily cases over yesterday as it detected over 20,000 Covid infections in 24 hours for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic. Four related deaths were also recorded in the same period.

Of the fresh cases, 85 per cent show no symptoms. 1,170 patients have been hospitalised in the metropolis today with Covid and 106 are on oxygen support. The financial capital had reported 15,166 cases yesterday.

India's financial capital has been witnessing a sudden and massive surge in Covid cases believed to be driven by the Omicron variant. The highly transmissible variant has fuelled a global spurt in cases, triggering a worldwide alarm.

There is a growing concern over the swiftly approaching third wave of infections in the city with more and more doctors and health workers testing positive in the metropolis. Over 150 doctors in the city's King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital have contracted the virus, as have another 80 at the Sion Hospital and nearly as many at others. Across Maharashtra over 260 have tested positive so far, the Association of Resident Doctors has said. 60 employees of the city's public transportation service also tested positive, ANI reported.
