Meanwhile, a UK new study has said there is no evidence that Omicron has a lower severity than the Delta variant of COVID-19. India’s Omicron tally has risen to 160, following which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged the Centre to allow booster doses.
In this edition of Top News Podcast, CNBCTV18.com’s Kanishka Sarkar also shares what experts make of the steep market fall, why the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has imposed a ban on futures trading in seven Agri commodities and how cryptocurrency investments rose to a whop[ping $30 billion in 2021.
