The surge is driven by the Omicron sub-variant JN.1 and its offshoots LF.7 and NB.1.8, which have been rapidly spreading in parts of Asia like Singapore and Hong Kong. However, health authorities stress that these variants do not appear to cause more severe illness.
Hospitals have been told to:
✅ Ensure ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and Bi-PAPs are functional.
✅ Send positive samples for genome sequencing to detect new variants.
✅ Report daily on Delhi’s health data management portal.
India is closely watching for any signs of severe disease, following global patterns of sudden upticks in mild infections due to waning immunity. Delhi has also seen a minor surge amid pre-monsoon weather, raising concerns about the seasonal flu overlap.
