The Current COVID-19 Situation in India

The Union Ministry of Health data, released on Saturday, June 7, 2025, shows a clear uptick in cases. For instance, India reported 391 new infections in the past day, a drop from 498 cases on Friday. However, the active case count now stands at 5,755, inching closer to 6,000. Additionally, 760 patients were discharged in the last 24 hours, slightly down from 764 recoveries the day before. Sadly, four people lost their lives to COVID-19 in the past day, with deaths reported from Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra.

Kerala is bearing the brunt of the surge, recording 127 new cases on Saturday. As a result, the state now has the highest active caseload. Gujarat follows with 183 new cases, pushing its active count to 822. Delhi, too, is seeing a rise, though exact numbers for the day weren’t specified in the latest update. Maharashtra reported 86 new cases, with 31 in Pune city, 2 in rural Pune, and 28 in Mumbai. Consequently, the state’s total since January 2025 is 1,362.

Why Are Cases Rising?

Several factors are driving this resurgence. For one, new variants like JN.1, LF.7, LF.7.9, and XFG—all part of the Omicron family—are circulating. These variants cause mild symptoms like fever and cough, but they spread quickly. Moreover, declining mask usage and relaxed public behavior are adding to the problem. Experts also point to waning immunity from vaccines given over a year ago. Changes in weather and air quality might be playing a role too, as they often boost respiratory infections.

In Gujarat, the health department confirmed all new cases are linked to these Omicron variants. Thankfully, no deaths were reported there in the last 24 hours. However, the situation remains serious, and vigilance is key. The Indian government has urged states to ensure oxygen, isolation beds, ventilators, and medicines are ready for any emergency.

State-Wise Breakdown of Active Cases

Here’s a look at the latest state-wise data for active COVID-19 cases as of June 7, 2025:

Note: Data for some states may be incomplete due to ongoing updates.

This table highlights Kerala’s lead in active cases, followed by Gujarat and West Bengal. Delhi and Maharashtra are also seeing steady increases. Meanwhile, smaller states like Uttarakhand and Odisha are reporting new cases too, though in lower numbers.

Fatalities and Vulnerable Groups

Tragically, four deaths were reported in the last 24 hours. In Maharashtra, a 45-year-old pregnant woman passed away after intrapartum seizures and tested positive for COVID-19. She was intubated but could not be saved. In Kerala, a 59-year-old man with lung cancer succumbed to the virus. The other two victims, from Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, were over 60 and had comorbidities. This underscores the risk for elderly people and those with underlying conditions.

Since January 2025, India has recorded 55 COVID-related deaths. Kerala and Maharashtra lead with eight fatalities each, followed by Delhi and Karnataka with four each. These numbers remind us to stay cautious, especially for vulnerable groups.

A Global Perspective

The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted a global rise in SARS-CoV-2 activity since mid-February 2025. For example, the test positivity rate hit 11%, a level not seen since July 2024. Countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, and Western Pacific regions are driving this increase. In India, variants like NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 are under monitoring by WHO and India’s INSACOG. While these are not yet “variants of concern,” their spread is a worry.

Globally, nations like China, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United States are also reporting high cases. The good news? Fatality rates remain low compared to earlier waves. Still, we must act fast to curb the spread. For more on the global situation, check this WHO update.

Visualizing the Surge

Below is a chart showing the rise in active COVID-19 cases in India from May to June 2025. Notice the sharp climb in recent weeks, especially in Kerala and Gujarat.

This chart, compatible with both mobile and computer screens, shows the alarming rise. Kerala’s cases (in green) and Gujarat’s (in blue) are climbing fast, while India’s overall trend (in orange) is worrisome.

What’s Being Done?

The Indian government is taking action. For one, states have been told to stock up on oxygen, isolation beds, ventilators, and essential medicines. In Karnataka, schools are set to reopen in June with strict guidelines. Children with symptoms like fever, cough, or cold must stay home and get medical care. Similarly, Odisha’s government is training teachers to handle COVID-19 risks.

Health departments are on high alert. In Jind, for example, officials are fixing oxygen plants and training new doctors. Uttarakhand and Dehradun are tracing contacts of new cases. Meanwhile, hospitals are testing suspected cases to catch the virus early.

Vaccination Updates

India’s vaccination drive is a success story. Over 95% of eligible adults have had two doses of Covishield or Covaxin. However, only 18% have taken the 2024-2025 booster, which targets Omicron sub-lineages. Boosters are vital for the elderly and those with weak immunity. You can walk into hospitals or book a slot for your shot.

The virus is evolving, and new variants like NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 are spreading. Symptoms are mild—sore throat, cough, fatigue—but don’t ignore them. Test early and isolate if needed. Also, watch for serious signs, especially in kids, the elderly, or those with health issues. Trouble breathing, chest pain, or high fever means you should see a doctor fast.
