Active cases have risen to 13,528. Total reported cases now stand at 4.47 crore and death toll has increased to 530,867. Active cases comprise 0.03% of total infections, while the recovery rate stands at 98.78%, according to the health ministry’s website.

The trajectory of covid cases have been on an upswing over the last few weeks. As of now, Karnataka has 1,037 active cases, Kerala has 3,852 active cases, Maharashtra has 3,016, Gujarat has 2,247 cases, Delhi 932, Tamil Nadu 726 active cases, and Himachal Pradesh has 798 cases.

Scientists have said that the XBB.1.16 variant of coronavirus is responsible for the current surge in cases. But in a relief, the infection is supposed to be milder in nature and may not lead a rise in hospitalisation rate as Indians have likely developed hybrid immunity due to vaccination and natural exposure to the disease.
