coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, making it the lowest single-day rise in cases in the last four months. Active cases have declined to 2,350, as per an update by the health ministry on Monday.
Total reported cases since the pandemic emerged in India in early 2020 stand at more than 4.49 crore and death toll at 531,891.
Health experts say hospital admissions have been on a decline as fewer cases of covid-19 are being reported. However, the elderly or those with underlying health conditions remain at risk of contracting the virus.
Hence, doctors advise completing vaccine schedule and adhering to covid-appropriate behaviour. The XBB.1.16 variant was behind the surge seen over the last few months.
