So far, 21 cases of the Covid-19 sub-variant JN.1 have been detected across three states - Goa, Kerala and Maharashtra. With 19 cases, Goa has reported the maximum number so far. In view of the rising Covid cases in some parts of India, Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya today reviewed the situation and preparedness. He advised states to ensure smooth coordination with the Centre for efficient pandemic management. Though India's cases remain significantly lower than global numbers, there has been a steep rise in active cases in the last two weeks, officials said. Most of the current cases are mild with no rise in hospitalisations. States have been asked to closely monitor emerging evidence on cases, symptoms and severity to plan appropriate response.
