The cases have risen sharply from 257 on May 22 to 3,758 on Sunday, June 1, 2025. As the COVID-19 cases spike, the health ministry is monitoring the situation and advises people not to worry, as most of the infections are mild.
However, patients with co-morbidities are vulnerable, and most of the deceased persons were suffering from underlying diseases.
A 60-year-old woman who died of COVID-19 in Delhi reportedly suffered from acute intestinal obstruction. Similarly, a 63-year-old man with comorbidities had tested positive for coronavirus and died at a Bengaluru hospital on May 29.
According to the ICMR, the current rise in COVID-19 cases is attributed to the Omicron subvariants. Four subvariants of Omicron — LF.7, XFG, JN.1, and NB.1.8.1 — have been detected in the genome sequencing of the patients tested positive so far.
