On Saturday, former Congress head Rahul Gandhi voiced alarm over a new coronavirus type and requested the government to ensure vaccination security for the country’s citizens.
His comments come as global alarm grows about a new strain of the deadly virus dubbed ‘Omicron’ by the World Health Organization and categorised as a variation of concern. “The new variety poses a significant threat. “It’s past time for the GOI (Government of India) to take vaccine security seriously for our countrymen,” Gandhi wrote on Twitter, adding the hashtag #Omicron.
New variant is a serious threat.
High time GOI gets serious about providing vaccine security to our countrymen.
