New Delhi : Active Covid-19 cases in India surged to 2,710, with Kerala accounting for most of the infections, according to the latest data by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. According to the data, Kerala has recorded 1,147 cases, followed by Maharashtra (424), Delhi (294), and Gujarat (223). Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have recorded 148 cases each, while West Bengal has registered 116 cases.
Seven deaths have also been recorded in the past 24 hours, taking the toll in the first five months of this year to 22. In the past 24 hours, Maharashtra has reported two deaths, while Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab and Tamil Nadu have registered one each.
While they are expressed as mild and subtle, awareness about symptoms has been mandated by health officials. Doctors advise that persistence beyond 4 days is the only cause for concern in patients. The variants are likely to attack unvaccinated adults with low immunity as all of COVID-19 deaths reported in 2025 have underlying causes.
Symptoms to watch out include nasal congestion, gastrointestinal issues, nausea, prolonged fatigue and headaches along with throat pain and other influenza like symptoms. As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare data, only Sikkim remains the state with no COVID-19 active cases. With the least cases in Uttarakhand, a positive trend of recovery has been observed.
