INDIA COVID Cases Update as of January 28, 2022

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India has reported a decrease in COVID cases since yesterday. As of January 28, 2022 (8:00 IST), there has been a total of 250,186 new cases reported across India.

Kerala has reported 51,739 cases followed by Karnataka registering 38,083 cases, and Tamil Nandu stands at 28,515 cases at this time. Today’s number is slightly lower than yesterday’s and below the 300,00 that was previously reported.

According to the latest updates, the omicron variant is 94% of the positive samples in Kerala. Omicron is now the dominant variant on the latest wave of cases. Many have imposed curbs and measures to contain the spread.

The Union Home Ministry extended the existing measures until February 28. This is because of the new wave of cases. 407 districts are reporting over a 10 % positivity rate. This prompts the government to extend the curbs.

Tamil Nandu is lifting some of its curbs on February 1. Relaxed measures include reopening of schools. Removal of night curfew and weekend curfew. Schools except for kindergarten, nursery, and colleges are expected to open. Chief Ministry MK Stalin announced that no night curfews from January 28 and Sunday lockdowns are withdrawn from January 30 onwards.
