India reported 841 new COVID-19 cases, marking the highest in over seven months. The active caseload rose to 4,309, with three new deaths reported in Kerala, Karnataka, and Bihar. The surge follows a period of low infection rates until December 5. The emergence of the JN.1 sub-variant and colder weather contribute to the recent spike. India has reported 4.50 crore cases and 5,33,361 deaths since January 2020. Despite the rise, the recovery rate stands at 98.81%, with over 220.67 crore vaccine doses administered. Health authorities remain vigilant, urging adherence to safety protocols.
