The sudden surge in COVID cases are owed to two new sub-variants of highly contagious NB.1.8.1 and LF.7, though JN.1 remains the dominant strain in the country. The World Health Organisation has not classified LF.7 or NB.1.8 as Variants of Concern or Variants of Interest. They are still categorized as Variants Under Monitoring.
Its symptoms are similar to those of the common flu. Some of the symptoms include fever, runny nose, sore throat, headache, fatigue, and exhaustion.
In the wake of the surge in cases, several states, including Delhi, have directed hospitals to maintain availability of beds, oxygen cylinders, testing kits and vaccines. The elderly and people with comorbidities have been advised to wear masks when visiting crowded areas.
