New Delhi: India recorded 2,927 fresh infections in a day which pushed the case tally to 4,30,65,496 while the active caseload increased to 16,279, the Union Health Ministry said on Wednesday (April 27, 2022). With this, the number of active cases in the country has increased to 16,279.
Of the new coronavirus cases in India, Delhi contributed 1,204, almost half of them. This was the fifth consecutive day that the national capital recorded over 1,000 fresh Covid-19 cases in a single day.
Experts told Zee News that from the relaxation in wearing of face masks to the simultaneous opening of schools, the recent spike in the number of cases in Delhi is due to the sudden removal of all Covid-19-related restrictions.
It was only after the cases increased, that the Delhi government decided to make face masks mandatory.
In India, including Delhi, Omicron (B.1.1.529) and its sub-lineage BA.2.12.1 are also seen as the cause behind the increasing number of Covid-19 cases.
