recent Covid surge in our country may be the relaxation of Covid-19 appropriate behavior, the low testing rate, and the emergence of a new variant of coronavirus infection.

The country has recorded 5,880 new reported covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of active cases to 35199, the union health ministry said on Monday.

Epidemiologists said that the covid-19 infections in India are doubling every 4-5 days and this has now led to the reporting of over 5,000 covid cases each day.

Scientists have said that the XBB.1.16 variant of coronavirus is responsible for the current surge in cases.
