A day after Bihar reported its first Omicron case, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said the third wave of COVID-19 has begun in the State and urged people to remain vigilant.
He also mooted opening a genome sequencing laboratory in the State.
“Bihar has recorded the first Omicron case. Everyone has to be alert. The State is witnessing a sharp rise in cases, with the maximum being registered in Patna and Gaya. A large number of people from other States reside in these two places, and this could be a reason behind the spike in cases in these areas,” he told reporters.
