No need to panic over Omicron, says infected doctor
The Hindu
He says patients can be managed in home isolation, if symptoms are not severe
While guidelines on whether all Omicron cases need hospitalisation are yet to be framed, the 46-year-old government doctor infected with this variant in Bengaluru said it is not a “deadly” variant as it is made out to be and patients can be managed in home isolation, if symptoms are not severe.
“Out of my personal experience and the mild symptoms that I have had, I can say that Omicron infected cases too can be managed in home isolation under medical supervision,” the doctor told The Hindu on Saturday.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
