India has seen over 17 lakh fresh cases since last week - the hospitalization rate and the rush in the third wave so far, however, have been nothing in comparison to the second wave that had pushed the healthcare system to a brink. The alarming spike is largely driven by Omicron - the latest variant that has caught global attention. As NDTV analyzed the hospitalisation data in the last seven days, it was seen that Mumbai and Delhi saw an uptick in the number of people needing hospital care even as cases kept falling for seven days consecutively.
