The Union Health Ministry announced on Friday that India had seen a one-day increase in 761 cases of Covid-19 infections and 12 fatalities in the previous 24 hours. According to ministry data updated at 8 am, the active caseload decreased even further to 4,334 from 4,423 the day before.
According to government sources on Wednesday, there have been 511 cases of JN.1 infections registered nationwide thus far, with Karnataka recording the highest number of cases. Karnataka has recorded 199 cases, Kerala has reported 148, Goa has reported 47, Gujarat has reported 36, Maharashtra has reported 32, Tamil Nadu has reported 26, Delhi has reported 15, Rajasthan has reported 4, Telangana has reported 2, and Odisha and Haryana have reported one each. Despite its fast spreading nature, the WHO has designated JN.1 as a distinct "variant of interest" and stated that it presents a "low" danger to global public health.
Karnataka has 1,240 active cases, Maharashtra has 914, and Kerala has 1,249 active cases, the most in all of India. 190 Covid-19 cases are currently open in Tamil Nadu, compared to 128 in each of Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. According to a study, there is a physiologic explanation for the ongoing exhaustion experienced by patients taking extended Covid. Muscle cells' reduced energy production compared to healthy individuals is the biological cause, according to the study's findings on mitochondria.
According to Ajit Pawar, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, all government employees and health department representatives have been advised to exercise caution in light of the recent Covid variation. "We are taking a daily review of the Covid situation in Maharashtra," Pawar continued. We anticipate that everyone will work together like they did previously so that we can maintain control.
