Omicron is not mild for frail, 32 deaths in Delhi in 10 days

There have been 32 deaths in the past 10 days. But most of the deaths are of patients with co-morbidities and the fatalities cannot be fully attributed to Covid. Hospitals said that very few patients presenting with Covid were double vaccinated.

On 26 November 2021, WHO designated the variant B.1.1.529 a variant of concern, named Omicron, on the advice of WHO's Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution (TAG-VE).
