New Delhi, December 29:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to UAE and Kuwait has been postponed amid Omicron concerns. The scheduled visit was on January 6.
According to South Block sources, the visit will have to be rescheduled due to the rising number of Omicron cases and could possible be held in February.
The Omicron variant of coronavirus has been raging across the globe, severely affecting the United States and Europe. In the US, Omicron is now the dominant virus replacing Delta. In the UK, Covid-19 cases have been breaking records daily due to the fast spread of Omicron.
In India, the situation is so far under control, with nearly 800 cases reported since the discovery of Omicron in South Africa on November 24.
