With 265 new cases recorded in the last 24 hours, the number of active cases in Kerala, the state where the JN.1 was initially discovered, increased to 2,606 instances. Up until Wednesday, 21 cases of the JN.1 strain had been found all around the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Health Ministry, India saw 594 new Covid-19 infections on Thursday, and there were 2,669 active cases, up from 2,311 the day before. The viral illness claimed the lives of six people: two from Karnataka, one from Punjab, and three from Kerala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Patna, Bihar, two individuals had positive Covid-19 test results. At the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science (IGIMS) in Patna, one patient tested positive, but at the ESIC Hospital in Bihta, another patient was confirmed to have the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state health department said that both patients’ travel histories had been discovered and that they have been advised to stay in home isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 29-year-old resident of Patna’s Gardnibagh is the first case, while a native of the Banka region is the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
