Following December 5, the highest single-day surge occurred on December 31, 2023, with 841 cases reported, amounting to 0.2% of the peak cases observed in May 2021, according to official sources.

Out of the 4,187 active COVID-19 cases in India, the majority, accounting for over 92%, are currently undergoing recovery through home isolation, as per official sources. The data available at present indicates that the JN.1 variant is not causing a significant increase in new cases, hospitalizations, or mortality rates. India has experienced three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Delta variant causing the highest daily cases and deaths during April-June 2021.
