On Polls Amid Covid, Centre’s Health Officer To Brief Election Body Today

New Delhi: 

Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan will brief the Election Commission this morning on the Covid situation – specifically the threat posed by the Omicron strain – in Uttar Pradesh and four other states due to hold elections in February-March.

Niti Aayog Member (Health) Dr VK Paul will also attend the briefing, officials said.

The rise in Covid cases – India on Wednesday reported a 55 per cent jump in new cases – and the violations of Covid protocols at political rallies in poll-bound states has led to fresh calls seeking delay in the elections.
