Covid could become endemic by march 11 if Omicron replaces Delta, according to a top government scientist.



Samiran Panda, head of the Epidemiological Department at the indian Council of Medical Research, predicted that Covid will become endemic in india by march 11.



If no new variants emerge, there is a chance that Covid will become endemic. According to our calculations, the Omicron wave will last three months beginning december 11.



Beginning march 11th, we will get some reprieve. We'll have to wait another two weeks to see if delhi and mumbai have achieved their Covid zenith and the worst is behind them.



The proportion of Omicron and Delta coronavirus variants in delhi and mumbai is roughly 80:20.



We won't be able to establish such a trend. Even with the decrease in cases and positivity, we can't say that right now.



Different states are at various stages of the pandemic, and the ICMR has changed its testing strategy as a result of epidemiological variations in the virus and the pandemic's changing course.



We never requested that states reduce testing. We requested more targeted and purposeful testing. The pandemic's character has also changed, and as a result, testing and management strategies will change.



Genomic sequencing is an ever-changing phenomenon. However, using genomic sequencing on a dead body to determine if he had Omicron is an oversimplified argument. Many patients die as a result of underlying conditions.
