India Faces Surge in COVID-19 Cases: Kerala and Maharashtra Lead

As the world gradually moves past the COVID-19 pandemic, fresh concerns are emerging in India as the number of active coronavirus cases begins to rise once again. According to official reports, the country has recorded a total of 1,252 active COVID-19 cases, triggering caution among health authorities and citizens alike.

Health officials have indicated that the recent surge may be linked to a new strain of the coronavirus, which has heightened the threat of infection. The uptick in cases is being closely monitored, especially in states with higher numbers of patients.

Kerala currently leads the country in active cases, with 430 reported patients. Maharashtra follows closely, recording 383 active cases and six fatalities attributed to the virus. The sharp increase in these two states has prompted calls for enhanced surveillance and preventive measures.

While the numbers remain relatively low compared to previous waves, the rapid rise has sparked concern about a potential resurgence. Health experts are urging people to remain vigilant, adhere to hygiene protocols, and stay informed about vaccination and booster schedules.
