On Monday, May 26, 2025, India reported a total of 1,009 active COVID-19 cases across the nation. This figure was 257 on May 19, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra experiencing an increase in cases.
Recently, the Health Ministry reported the discovery of COVID variants NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 in India. In April, one case of NB.1.8.1 was identified in Tamil Nadu, while four cases of LF.7 were confirmed in May. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has categorized both LF.7 and NB.1.8 subvariants as Variants Under Monitoring (VUMs), rather than as Variants of Concern (VOCs) or Variants of Interest (VOIs). These variants are believed to be contributing to the increase in COVID-19 cases in China and various regions of Asia.
The Health Ministry examined the COVID-19 cases towards the end of last week and mentioned that the majority of cases have been reported from states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and others.
After the meeting the statement said,”It should be mentioned that the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) and the ICMR’s pan India respiratory virus sentinel surveillance network have a strong system for monitoring respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. The majority of these cases are mild and are being treated at home”.
According to officials, there have been indications of a recent surge in COVID-19 instances in Singapore, Hong Kong, and other nations.
According to the corresponding National IHR focus points, there is no proof that the circulating variants are more contagious or result in more serious illness than the variants that were previously in circulation. According to a statement released by the Ministry, “The Union Health Ministry is actively keeping an eye on the situation and stays alert through its various agencies”.
