In the meantime, important information has come to light. Doctors claim that omicron patients are being cured by taking paracetamol and multivitamin pills. Paracetamol and multivitamin pills are currently being used to treat omicron patients at the Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Hospital (LNJP) in Delhi.

The remaining 10 percent of patients have mild symptoms such as sore throat, slight fever and body aches. "Only multivitamin and paracetamol tablets have been used in the treatment of these patients with Omicron. We have not felt the need to give any other tablets to these patients," the doctor said. 

The number of Omicron patients in Delhi is high. Doctors also said that almost all the patients affected by the Omicron variant of the Corona were from abroad. All of these patients have taken both doses of the corona vaccine. Three-quarters of people have also taken a booster dose of the corona vaccine.
