NEW DELHI — India's capital Delhi and financial hub Mumbai have reported a big fall in Covid-19 infections in the past two days and most of those who contracted the virus have recovered at home, authorities said on Monday (Jan 17).

Mumbai's daily new infections fell below 10,000 on Sunday for the first time since early this month, after touching an all-time high of 20,971 on Jan 7. It reported 7,895 infections late on Sunday, Mumbai's municipal corporation said.

Both cities have said more than 80 per cent of their Covid-19 hospital beds have remained unoccupied since the fast-transmitting Omicron variant led to a massive surge in cases from the start of the year. "In this situation, monitoring hospitalisation is more prudent; today's case can be next week's hospitalisation."Experts have attributed the low hospitalisations to high levels of previous infections and vaccination. India has fully vaccinated about 70 per cent of its 939 million adults and hopes to give the primary two doses to another 70 million or so teenagers by next month.
