India is witnessing a rise in COVID-19 cases, with active infections surpassing 1,000 as of May 26, up sharply from 257 the previous week. Seven deaths were reported in the past week. Most cases are mild and do not require hospitalisation. The surge is driven by two new Omicron sub-variants, LF.7 and NB.1.8, while the JN.1 strain remains dominant. These new variants are classified by WHO as "Variants Under Monitoring," indicating ongoing observation but no immediate cause for concern. Symptoms are similar to flu and earlier Omicron strains, including sore throat, fatigue, mild cough, and fever, with most patients recovering at home. The rise is concentrated in states like Kerala, Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. India’s extensive vaccination campaign, with over 2.2 billion doses administered, continues to be crucial in preventing severe illness, hospitalisation, and death. Health authorities urge eligible individuals to complete vaccinations and boosters to mitigate the impact of the current mild surge.
