India recorded 636 new Covid-19 cases and three deaths in the past 24 hours, signaling a slight dip from the previous day's 841 infections. The active caseload increased to 4,394, with Kerala and Tamil Nadu reporting two and one fatalities, respectively. The national recovery rate stands at 98.81%, and the case fatality rate at 1.18%. The recent surge is attributed to the emergence of the JN.1 sub-variant and colder weather. Experts recommend precautionary measures, especially for vulnerable groups. As of December 29, 2023, 178 cases of the JN.1 sub-variant have been reported across nine states, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance.
