Two more cases of COVID-19 sub-variant JN.1 were detected in Gurugram on Wednesday, taking the total number of active cases to 10 while the authorities directed all hospitals to be on alert.
A sudden rise in Covid cases driven by a new variant named JN.1 has triggered concerns across the country. Several states have started issuing mask advisories while experts suggest aggressive testing.
