The beyond couple of days have seen a progressive rise in Covid cases in India, with 12,213 new cases recorded on June 16—a 39 percent surge from the other day. This is the most elevated spike in cases since mid-February and the initial time since February 26 that day today numbers crossed the 10,000 mark. Two states are seeing a critical jump in numbers — Maharashtra and Kerala. While Maharashtra recorded 4,024 new cases, Kerala saw 3,488 new infections. Together, they had the largest number of largest cases as on June 16.

But experts say this isn’t a ‘wave’ rather an endemic spike, which will go back and forth frequently since Covid-19 neither disappeared nor is probably going to. While India had a break from big numbers, the world has been reeling under the onslaught of Omicron’s sub-variants. Curiously, the way that India was hit by a BA.2 variant wave, whose later sub-variants are now causing surges in South Africa and the US, could be one reason we haven’t seen a comparable spike. It could also simply underreporting of numbers as many currently really like to step through a home test, which frequently goes unrecorded. “People are not wearing masks or keeping up with social distancing. Many don’t want to take their booster dose. Subsequently, when the past immunity disappears or new variants come up, we will see a rise,” says Dr Farah Ingale, internal medicine specialists at Fortis Hospital in Navi Mumbai’s Vashi.

The circumstance in Mumbai is worrying. As per BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) information, everyday cases in the city rise by just about 950% from mid-May to June 12.

The city has additionally revealed three cases of the BA.4 variants and one of the BA.5 variants, and reportedly also of BA.2.12.1—all sub-variants of Omicron that have caused waves in different regions of the world. Specialists say this could be an warning sign for other cities too.

Whether there is a wave or not, doctors say the pandemic is still on and Covid is out there —evolving, infecting and claiming lives. Given the advances in medical understanding of the infection, alongside the developing accessibility and viability of Covid vaccines, the world is presently obviously better ready to take on Covid. However, it stays fundamental that we don’t underestimate the virus, or our wellbeing, for granted and keep on following Covid-appropriate behaviour.
