    The infection count published today, up from 7,830 instances recorded yesterday, brings the total number of Covid cases reported in the country to 4,42,10,127.

    The daily positivity rate was 4.42 percent, with a weekly positivity rate of 4.02 percent. Active cases now account for 0.10 percent of total illnesses.

    According to the health ministry’s website, the nationwide COVID-19 recovery rate is 98.71 percent. The case fatality rate was calculated to be 1.19 percent.

    Government sources yesterday said that Covid has entered the endemic stage in India and cases will rise for the next 10-12 days, after which the infections will subside.

    The XBB.1.16 subvariant of Omicron, which is driving the latest surge, is not a cause of worry and vaccines are effective against it, health ministry officials said.

    The subvariant’s prevalence increased from 21.6% in February to 35.8% in March, but no incident of hospitalisation or death has been reported, the sources said.
