Is Corona Making a Comeback? 257 Suspected Cases Reported Nationwide, 95 in Mumbai

As the world breathes a sigh of relief having largely recovered from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, alarming reports are now emerging of a potential resurgence. Health authorities in Hong Kong and Singapore have observed a noticeable uptick in new infections, prompting concerns across borders.

In India, the specter of COVID-19 has once again begun to loom large. Recent reports indicate that there are currently 257 suspected cases of COVID-19 across the country. Mumbai alone accounts for 95 of these cases, signaling a possible resurgence in urban centers. Kerala, too, has reported a concerning spike, with 95 suspected cases, marking it as one of the states with the highest number of new potential infections.

Health officials attribute this surge to a new strain of the coronavirus, which appears to be more infectious. In response, municipal bodies—particularly in high-risk cities—have begun preparations to manage a possible crisis. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has assured citizens that hospitals are equipped and emergency protocols are in place.

Authorities have issued a public advisory urging citizens to remain calm but vigilant. People experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing are being encouraged to consult a healthcare professional immediately.
