Coronavirus has struck back in many Asian countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand. There are some spikes in Covid-19 cases in India too.

The new COVID-19 variant, JN.1, is a descendant of the Omicron lineage. It has the ability to transmit faster and more efficiently with over 30 mutations.
Whom is it affecting?
According to leading medical experts, the COVID-19 cases are rising due to lower immunity, especially with the elderly or those with comorbidities.
Did COVID-19 really disappear?
A leading doctor said, "COVID-19 has never truly disappeared — it has lingered in an endemic form, occasionally causing local or regional outbreaks."
What are the symptoms of JN.1?
The symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19, such as sore throat, fever, runny or clogged nose, dry cough, exhaustion, headache, and loss of taste or smell.
