India's COVID-19 Cases Drop, Death Toll Rises; Experts Cite 'Mini Wave'
India is currently seeing a slight rise in COVID-19 cases, described as a small wave by experts.
The number of active cases has decreased slightly, but the total deaths have increased.
Different states have varying numbers of cases and recoveries.
Most people who get the virus are experiencing mild symptoms and recovering at home.
This is different from previous waves because hospitals aren't being overwhelmed.
India's active COVID-19 cases decreased by 353, totaling 6,483.
The death toll since January 2025 reached 113, with 4 new deaths reported.
Gujarat has the highest active cases at 1,105, while Kerala leads in recoveries with 5,572.
Health experts consider the recent rise in cases a 'mini-wave', not a resurgence.
Most patients experience mild symptoms and recover at home.
