Also, after the detection of 37 new cases of the new sub-form JN.1, the number of its patients has crossed 200. According to the Health Ministry, in the last 24 hours, two patients in Kerala and one in Tamil Nadu died of infection. By December 5 last year, the number of daily cases had come down to double digits, but the cases have increased due to cold and the new variant of the virus. According to the Health Ministry website, the number of people who have recovered from the infection so far has exceeded 4.4 crore.

According to the data released on Monday, Kerala (83), Goa (51), Gujarat (34), Karnataka (eight), Maharashtra (seven), Rajasthan (five), Tamil Nadu (four), Telangana (two) Odisha (one) and One case has been reported in Delhi.

 

 

179 cases of the JN.1 variant in December

According to the latest data, JN.1 variant was found in 179 Covid-19 infected people in the country in December. 17 such cases were registered in November. The World Health Organization (WHO) has said about the JN.1 variant that the pace of its spread is fast. However, this is a 'variant of interest'. There is no risk of becoming seriously ill if infected with this.

 

There is no need to be afraid of new variants of Corona

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, former chief scientist of the World Health Organization, has said in an interview that we need to be cautious of new variants. We don't need to worry. We currently have no data to suggest. We just have to adopt normal safety measures. We need to be cautious. People should avoid being in places with low ventilation without a mask. If you are in such an area then definitely wear a mask. Avoid going near any infected person. Try to stay in an open space. If there is any problem like fever or shortness of breath then definitely go to the hospital. He further said that we have to keep in mind that it is winter season now. We need to take precautions. So far 21 cases have been reported in India, due to which people are again panicking. The World Health Organization also says the risk of JN-1 is low based on current evidence.

 

Instructions to states to increase surveillance

According to WHO, the JN.1 sub-variant of coronavirus was earlier considered to be the type of BA.2.86. However, in the past few weeks, JN.1 cases have been reported in more than 40 countries. Given the rapidly spreading infection, the Union Health Ministry has asked the states and union territories to maintain constant surveillance.
