Reuters: New COVID-19 cases in India rise sharply for fifth consecutive day
NEW DELHI, Jan 2 (Reuters) - India reported more than 27,000 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, with infections sharply rising for a fifth consecutive day, but the chief minister of the capital New Delhi said there was no need to panic, citing low hospitalisation rates.
The country's largest cities, including Delhi and the financial capital Mumbai, have seen a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, including those of the Omicron variant, which has triggered a fresh wave of infections in other parts of the world.
Although the number of active cases in Delhi has tripled in just the last three days, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that hospitalisations had not gone up. "This means that most people who are coming down with (COVID-19) are not requiring hospital care.
They are mild cases," Kejriwal said in an online briefing.

You have BANTU peoples in both sets of countries. So that is not it.
