Covid-19 India Cases 2025 Live Updates: Active cases near 7,000-mark; 104 fresh cases in Delhi
Covid-19 Cases in India News Live Updates: The fresh spike in Covid-19 infections continues in India as the number of active cases in the country stood at 6,815 on Wednesday morning, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. While the number of active cases in the country nears the 7,000-mark, 7,644 people have recovered so far from the infection this year. Three new Covid-related deaths were also reported in the 24-hours ending Wednesday, taking the total number of deaths this year to 68.
Worst-hit states amid rise in Covid cases: While a slight uptick in active cases was recorded in almost all states, Kerala continues to report the highest number of Covid-19 cases in 2025, with the active caseload standing at 2,053 on Wednesday morning. According to Centre's Covid-19 dashboard, states like Gujarat, West Bengal, Delhi and Maharashtra have also reported fairly high number of active cases this year.
Surge driven by Omicron variant: The recent surge in Covid-19 cases across the country is driven by new Omicron sub-variants such as JN.1, NB.1.8.1, LF.7, and XFC, with increased transmissibility but milder symptoms, as compared to other variants. The WHO currently classifies these as 'Variants Under Monitoring' — not of concern yet, but requiring caution. Meanwhile, SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19, has not disappeared, but it no longer behaves like an unpredictable emergency — rather, it has become part of a recurring cycle of illnesses, similar to the flu.
