Just when we thought the villain had exited stage left, COVID-19 makes an unexpected comeback, proving that some sequels are truly unwelcome.
India has reported over 1,000 active cases, with Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi leading the charts. It’s like a rerun of a show we hoped was canceled.
The Unwanted Sequel
As of May 26, 2025, India has recorded 1,009 active COVID-19 cases. Kerala tops the list with 430 cases, followed by Maharashtra (209) and Delhi (104).
The resurgence is attributed to new variants like JN.1 and its subvariants LF.7 and NB.1.8.1, which have been detected in multiple states.

These new variants are like the plot twists no one wanted. While they are more transmissible, experts suggest they are less severe than previous strains.
Symptoms resemble those of a mild viral fever, including cough, fatigue, and occasional fever.
