Omicron Variant Cases and Deaths in India Live, Covid-19 Booster Vaccine Registration January 26 Latest Update: The consistent drop in daily cases across India may not be the good news one is thinking it to be. Why? Simply because that’s not the real picture. An Indian Express report shows how the daily cases dropped in Maharashtra, which corresponded with the decline in testing in the state. In terms of numbers, there was a 30 per cent drop in daily cases between Sunday and Monday. And between these two days, the average Covid tests conducted in the state also dropped by 27 per cent. So, when we see on national level, a drop of over 50,000 cases, what does it mean?
