File PhotoCOVID-19 Cases Rising In India Highlights: India is once again witnessing an unsettling rise in COVID-19 cases, with the number of active infections climbing to 4,302, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's latest update as of 8:00 AM IST, June 4, 2025.
Leading the current spike is Kerala, with 43 fresh infections, pushing its active caseload to 1373, nearly half of the country’s total. Meanwhile, West Bengal added 60 new cases, increasing its active tally to 432, while the national capital Delhi recorded 64 new infections, taking its active cases to 457.
Maharashtra, another state that has seen consistent rises in previous waves, reported 16 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of infections recorded to 510, as per the state’s public health department.
As per May 2025 classifications by the World Health Organization (WHO), subvariants LF.7 and NB.1.8.1 are categorized as Variants Under Monitoring, meaning they are not yet deemed as Variants of Concern or Variants of Interest. However, these strains are suspected to be contributing to the rising infections not just in India but also across China and other parts of Asia.
Despite the emergence of new subvariants, the JN.1 strain remains the most dominant, accounting for a staggering 53% of all positive cases across the country. According to data from the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG), a case of NB.1.8.1 was detected in Tamil Nadu in April, while four cases of LF.7 were identified in Gujarat earlier this month.
With the virus subtly shifting form and symptoms evolving, health authorities are urging the public to maintain precautionary measures, including hygiene, mask use in crowded places, and timely testing. Although hospitalisation remains low, experts warn that complacency could reverse progress.
Stay informed, and if you’re experiencing mild symptoms like fatigue, a sore throat, or gastrointestinal discomfort, it’s best to test early and isolate to prevent further spread.

COVID-19 in India LIVE: Six new Covid cases in Patna; doctors say no need to panic, take precautions
Patna: After six new cases were recorded in the last 24 hours, the number of Covid-19 patients has risen to 30 in Patna since May 23, according to the latest report released by the Bihar Health Department.
The new cases include a 19-year-old male, a 21-year-old female, and three senior citizens aged 55, 66, and 73 years.
Currently, 24 patients are active, while six have recovered and been discharged. Of the total, 16 cases were confirmed by government labs (AIIMS, NMCH, IGIMS), while the remaining 14 came from private labs, raising concerns about the silent spread of the virus.
Some doctors, nurses, and medical students at prominent hospitals like Patna AIIMS, NMCH, and IGIMS are among those infected, raising concerns. Experts have warned that this could hamper hospital preparedness if adequate precautions are not maintained.
The inclusion of three elderly patients above 55 years in the new cases has prompted health officials to reiterate the vulnerability of senior citizens and people with comorbidities such as heart disease and diabetes.
“Most of the patients have mild symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and fatigue. However, the elderly and those with chronic illnesses should be extra cautious,” said Dr Avinash Kumar Singh, Civil Surgeon, Patna.
Hospitals have been directed to ensure the availability of oxygen cylinders, testing kits, and vaccine stocks.
COVID-19 Cases Rising in India LIVE: Symptoms of JN.1 Variant
According to health officials and recent cases, symptoms of the JN.1 variant are generally similar to other Omicron subvariants but can vary from person to person.
Common JN.1 Symptoms:
1. Fever: Mild and short-lived
2. Dry or wet cough
3. Sore throat
4. Runny or congested nose
5. Headache
6. Fatigue
7. Muscle or body aches
8. Diarrhoea and nausea (reported in some cases)
Expert Insight:
Dr Diksha Goyal, Senior Consultant at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, notes:
“Though the new COVID-19 variants like JN.1 are infectious, symptoms remain mild for most. The elderly or immunocompromised are at higher risk. Vaccination, masking, and early detection remain key.”
COVID-19 Cases Rising in India LIVE: What Are Symptoms Of The New COVID Variant?
The two distinct symptoms of this variant as compared to previous variants are:
A. Gastrointestinal Issues
A distinguishing symptom of JN.1 is the heightened occurrence of digestive problems, including nausea, decreased appetite, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Although gastrointestinal symptoms were observed in previous COVID-19 variants, they were generally less frequent and often mild. In the case of JN.1, these symptoms appear to be more pronounced and impact a greater number of patients. Medical professionals suggest that this shift may be attributed to the virus's modified behavior within the body or its interaction with the immune system of the gut.
B. Persistent Low-Grade Fever
In contrast to previous variants where high fever accompanied by sweating and chills was prevalent, JN.1 infections frequently result in a persistent low-grade fever, generally. Individuals may feel slightly warm for several days without experiencing the severe fever spikes that were characteristic of earlier COVID waves. This symptom can easily be overlooked or confused with mild fatigue or other minor ailments.

Covid-19 in India Live Updates: Why cases are rising again despite mild symptoms?
Experts say that waning immunity, either from past infections or vaccination, is leaving people vulnerable to reinfections. While symptoms remain mild in most cases, the virus continues to mutate, and some variants may have better immune evasion properties, contributing to fresh surges globally.

COVID-19 in India LIVE: How Can Office Goers Protect Themselves From COVID-19?
People who go to work daily, especially via public transport and in crowded office spaces, are more vulnerable to these emerging variants. So, what can you do to stay safe if you're an office goer? Here's everything you need to keep in mind.
While most people received their primary COVID-19 vaccinations during the pandemic, it’s important not to become complacent. If you haven't taken the vaccine for any reason, consult your doctor and get vaccinated. For those in high-risk groups—like the elderly, people with low immunity, or chronic illnesses—booster doses may be necessary. With new variants like COVID NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 in circulation, staying updated with your vaccines provides crucial protection.
Social Distancing Still Works
The virus spreads more easily in close-contact environments. Maintain at least one metre of distance from others whenever possible. Avoid crowded areas, especially during peak hours in public transport or crowded office cafeterias. Social distancing remains one of the most effective tools in preventing virus transmission, even in this post-pandemic phase.

A distinguishing symptom of JN.1 is the heightened occurrence of digestive problems, including nausea, decreased appetite, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Although gastrointestinal symptoms were observed in previous COVID-19 variants, they were generally less frequent and often mild. In the case of JN.1, these symptoms appear to be more pronounced and impact a greater number of patients. Medical professionals suggest that this shift may be attributed to the virus's modified behavior within the body or its interaction with the immune system of the gut.

In contrast to previous variants where high fever accompanied by sweating and chills was prevalent, JN.1 infections frequently result in a persistent low-grade fever, generally. Individuals may feel slightly warm for several days without experiencing the severe fever spikes that were characteristic of earlier COVID waves. This symptom can easily be overlooked or confused with mild fatigue or other minor ailments.
