Amid a fresh global surge in Covid-19 cases, Moneycontrol has launched a comprehensive real-time Covid tracker to help readers in India stay informed and prepared.
Access to timely information is crucial in fighting the spread of the disease, and to address this need, Moneycontrol’s Covid-19 tracker page provides the latest data on active and new cases, vaccination rates, variant updates and state-wise figures, presented through clear maps, tables and graphics.
With states reporting an uptick in cases, the tracker provides updates to keep you aware of regional trends and hotspots. India has reported 1,010 active cases as of May 26. Kerala led with over 430 active cases, followed by Maharashtra with 210 and Delhi with 104. The three states accounted for more than 70 percent of the cases.
Beyond the numbers, Moneycontrol’s Covid tracker page also curates the latest news reports, government advisories, and expert analysis to help readers make sense of the fast-evolving Covid-19 landscape.
With more than 147,000 new cases globally between February and May, and deaths rising despite falling hospitalizations, Covid-19 is transitioning into an endemic phase, showing seasonal surges much like the flu.
The current wave is being driven primarily by the JN.1 variant, which now accounts for over half of all infections in India. While the XEC and BA.2 variants continue to circulate, none have shown increased lethality, though transmissibility remains high. Globally, the WHO has listed JN.1 as a Variant of Interest, with newer strains like LP.8.1 and LB.1 also under close watch.
