The Delhi Health Department has designated Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital as the dedicated facility to treat patients testing positive for the new COVID-19 variant 'Omicron'.
The hospital has been asked to earmark wards for isolating and treating such patients, PTI reported.
Research is still on to find out the effects Omicron would have on the human body and not much is known as yet since it is a new strain. Studies from Britain showed that those infected with Omicron are less likely to end up in hospital.
North Korea said Friday its two latest rounds of weapons tests this week were successful while vowing to bolster its nuclear war deterrent and speed up the development of more powerful warheads, PTI reported.
