Covid-19 Updates: Maharashtra Health minister has called an urgent review meeting to discuss the rising cases of the new JN.1 variant of the coronavirus
India reported 594 new Covid-19 infections on Thursday, causing an increase in active cases from 2,311 to 2,669, as per Union health ministry data. Six more fatalities were recorded. While precautions like mask-wearing and hand hygiene are crucial, experts suggest the new JN.1 variant may be more infectious without increased danger. But they emphasize the importance of safety protocols for all, particularly the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.
