As per local reports, the country is facing a massive hospital shortage. Despite having mild symptoms, the hospital staff is working.

According to Reuters, even though the Omicron strain being reported is a less severe variant as compared to the other variants, the number of hospitalized Covid-19 patients have doubled in the last three weeks, surpassing the hospitalization record of 132,051 last year.

The surge in Covid-19 cases have disrupted normalcy in the country and has forced the officials to close down schools. New York City suspended service on three subway lines as a large number of workers were out sick.
