Delhi reports 47 new Covid cases, active tally rises to 483
Delhi has recorded 47 new Covid-19 cases since Sunday, bringing the total number of active cases to 483, according to data from the Union Health Ministry. Four Covid-related deaths have been reported, including a 22-year-old woman with a history of treated pulmonary Koch's and a bilateral lower respiratory tract infection.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated last week that 19 patients are currently hospitalized in the city but emphasized there is no cause for concern. She assured that the Delhi government remains vigilant and hospitals are fully equipped to handle any situation.
On May 23, the Delhi government issued an advisory directing hospitals to be prepared with adequate beds, oxygen supplies, essential medicines, and vaccines. It also instructed that all critical equipment—such as ventilators, BiPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and PSA devices—must be in working order.
As of June 2, 2025, India has 3,961 active COVID-19 cases, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. This marks a significant rise from 257 cases two weeks prior. The surge is attributed to the emergence of the highly transmissible
Omicron subvariant NB.1.8.1
, which has been detected in multiple countries, including the U.S., Singapore, and Australia.
Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi are among the worst-affected regions, with Delhi experiencing the sharpest increase in infections. Despite the uptick, health experts advise that most cases remain mild, and there is no immediate cause for panic. Authorities emphasize the importance of hospital preparedness, continued vaccination efforts, and mask-wearing to contain the virus's spread.
