India's Omicron tally jumps to 21 with 17 cases in a day

While Delhi reported its first case of Omicron infection, nine people, including four members of a family, were found infected with the variant in Rajasthan and seven others in Maharashtra.

This came a day after the Centre's Har Ghar Dastak (door-to-door) vaccination campaign registered yet another milestone as over 10 million doses of the vaccine were administered on a single day on Saturday – the sixth time so far. The fully vaccinated adult population in the country has now crossed 50 per cent, even as the cumulative vaccination coverage has surpassed 1.27 billion.

Taking to Twitter, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh Mandaviya hailed India's achievement. "It is a moment of great pride as over 50 per cent of the eligible population is now fully vaccinated. We will win the battle against Covid-19 together," he said.
