Experts have predicted that the BF.7 outbreak in india will be distinct from that in china because of the country's strict lockdown up until last month, which prevented the Chinese populace from developing herd immunity. The Center and the states have increased their precautions against the contagious variant in response to the discovery of four cases of BF.7, the new variant responsible for the spike in Covid cases in China. 

While millions of deaths are expected in china in the next months, the scenario there is concerning, analysts are optimistic that India's position would be different. The past three months of July, September, and november saw the discovery of all four BF.7 cases. In india, there are no open BF.7 cases.
