Covid cases on the decline now (Source: Internet)
New Delhi: India’s active Covid-19 caseload fell to 5,976 on Thursday, marking the fourth straight day of decline, down from 6,483 the previous day, according to data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
In the last 24 hours, three Covid-related deaths were reported—two from Delhi and one from Kerala. All three individuals were elderly and had pre-existing chronic health conditions like kidney disease and acute rheumatoid arthritis.
While the overall national trend remains encouraging, health authorities continue to monitor localised outbreaks, driven in part by emerging subvariants such as LF.7, XFG, JN.1, and the newly detected NB.1.8.1.
The authorities have also advised people to adopt Covid norms like wearing masks in crowded areas and maintaining hygiene and focusing on immunity.
According to the ministry, a total of 428 active cases decreased on June 17, while on June 16 this number was 119. This decline clearly shows that the rate of new cases of infection is slowing down and the recovery rate is improving. Now the active cases have come down below 6,500, which is a matter of relief for the health system.

However, in this atmosphere of relief, there is also some worrying news. In the last 24 hours, 4 deaths have been recorded in the country. Of these, two deaths have occurred in Maharashtra, while one person each has died in Kerala and Delhi. The ministry has clarified that the infected persons in all these deaths were elderly and were already suffering from other serious diseases, especially respiratory and heart diseases.
Talking about the state-wise figures of COVID cases, Kerala still remains the state with the highest number of active cases, although improvement has been seen here too. There has been a decrease of 275 active cases in the state as compared to the previous day, and currently a total of 1384 active cases have been registered. This makes it clear that the efforts being made by the state government are proving to be effective.
Experts believe that the vaccination campaign, continuity of masks, and public awareness have been major reasons behind the decline in COVID cases. However, the Health Ministry has warned people that even though COVID may not spread as intensely now, it is important to be vigilant about its new variants and symptoms.
