COVID-19 Cases on the Rise, Deaths Reported in Several States
COVID-19 cases are going up again in India.
More people are getting sick, and sadly, there have been some deaths.
Most of the new cases are caused by new versions of the Omicron strain, and the symptoms are usually not very severe, like a cold or the flu.
Doctors are urging people to be careful, especially those who have other health problems.
There is no need to panic, but it's important to be aware and seek help if symptoms get worse.
COVID-19 cases are rising across India, with Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Haryana reporting new infections.
Seven new deaths were reported, with Maharashtra accounting for the highest number of fatalities (four).
The total number of active cases in India has risen to 4,302, as of June 4, 2025.
Most current infections are attributed to Omicron subvariants, which generally cause mild symptoms.
