There is no need to panic about rising Omicron cases, said Bengaluru Urban District Commissioner J Manjunath on December 22 while differentiating the severity between Delta and Omicron variants.

He said, “Omicron cases are rising but not at an alarming rate as we witness during Delta (outbreak). Nevertheless, number of tests is going up & there is no need to panic. The district is going to achieve 100 per cent second dose vaccination in a day or two.”
