However, the upcoming cases have been mild, with no deaths reported. Since May 12, India has reported 164 new Covid cases, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's Covid-19 dashboard stated.
The health authorities have advised elderly people, pregnant women and people with pre-existing conditions to use preventive measures, like wearing masks.
New Variant— JN.1
The cause of this surge of Covid-19 cases in Asia is the JN.1 variant and its related descendants, which are subvariants of the Omicron lineage. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has designated JN.1 as a “variant of interest”, though not yet a “variant of concern”.
That suggests that authorities are closely monitoring the situation, but there's no conclusive evidence so far that it causes more severe illness like the other Omicron subvariants.
