COVID-19 Cases Rise in India, Raising Concerns Over Data
COVID-19 is in the news again in India.
There's a rise in people testing positive in different areas.
Government data has been released about deaths in 2021, when a variant called Delta was around.
The recent rise is because of new versions of Omicron, but thankfully, no one has died yet.
People are worried that the government didn't count all the COVID-19 deaths correctly before.
They're wondering why some areas had more deaths than reported and are discussing these differences.
This means they may not know the complete story of how many people died from the disease.
COVID-19 cases are rising in various Indian states.
Government data released reveals information on deaths in 2021.
The rise is due to the JN.1 and BA.2 Omicron sub-lineages.
