India records 2,59,291 new cases on Thursday

Like every wave in the past, cases fuelled by the Omicron variant of COVID-19 have initially spread only in the urban areas. However, many rural and semi-rural places recorded a sharp spike in infections in the past week.

At the start of this year, 50% of the cases were from urban centres such as Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata. However, the share reduced to 35% by Wednesday.

In contrast, the share of cases from rural areas increased from 6% at the start of the year to 12% by Wednesday. In the same period, the share of cases in semi-rural areas increased from 15% to 25%.

In the first five days of the year, rural and semi-rural areas recorded only 58,000 cases collectively. In the latest five days, the areas recorded 2.12 lakh infections, a 266% increase. In the same period, cases in urban and semi-urban areas increased from about 1,80,000 to 6,00,000 cases, a 233% increase, slightly lower than rural counterparts.

India recorded 2,59,291 new cases on Thursday, the highest single-day rise in the ongoing wave. Also, 18.86 lakh tests were conducted on Wednesday, the results of which are made available on Thursday. This is the highest number of tests in a single day in the ongoing wave.

The figures are based on the State bulletins released until 10 p.m. on Thursday. Jharkhand and Tripura had, however, not yet released data for the day.
