Sharjah24 – AFP: The state of Delhi imposes a weekend curfew as authorities grapple with a fresh surge in coronavirus cases, partly fuelled by the fast-spreading Omicron variant.
All residents besides essential workers will now be asked to stay home from Friday night to Monday morning. India reported 117,100 new Covid-19 infections on Friday 7 January 2022, its single-day tally crossing the 100,000-mark for the first time since June 2021.
Business owners in the capital of New Delhi worry about their livelihood but hope these measures will help stem the tide of the country's third wave.
