As on date (8th Jan 2022), its surge can be seen in India. The expected peak is some where in middle of Feb in various cities. Sunday lockdowns and night curfews have returned back. Partial lockdowns are on the cards.
The Omicron variant is reportedly milder, and does not infect the lungs. However, there is a fear that it can mutate in a more dangerous virus, once it spreads.
We are becoming more careful again, with more COVID-appropriate behaviour.
It is to be noted that India is already 85% vaccinate with one dose, 50% vaccinated with 2nd dose. Teenagers from 15-17 years are also getting vaccinated from 3rd Jan 2022. People above 60 years (Seniour citizen) with comorbidities, can receive 3rd 'precautionary dose' of the vaccine from 10th Jan 2022. Several counties have no vaccines yet, but some people in some countries have already taken 4th dose as well. Thats where the term 'vaccine equity' has originated.
Best wishes and stay safe,
