Government should focus online classes now onwards, as Schools and colleges are spreading more infection than any other places, as students take these precautions very lightly as they don’t understand the consequence and chain reactions in the family

[TheSibaSwain]

Don't repeat the same mistake again. Stop international flights from south africa and for other countries check recent travel history to affected countries by omicron.

[shubhamdhore]

Immediate precautions should be taken by government to curb it's spread...

[harshit.]

Please all take precautions, wear mask not just for sake of wearing or for guards but for yourselves. I pray all be safe 🙏

[prasadnaik]

It's high time media should consider telling central government as "the central government" Not modi government or at least call it as PM Modi led government.. Simply calling it as modi government like locals talk doesn't suit for media houses like you..

News is doing the brilliant job of spreading fear again, there should be condifence and not fear!!

[naciremavlogs]

Everytime when is looking to go good then new variant is in news? Think about it some people actually developing for it lot of gain and trying to change the whole world economy up and down..

[tapatap]

Poor students and their parents . They will suffer alot.
