Both of these have been listed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as ‘Variants Under Monitoring’ and not ‘Variants of Concern’ or ‘Variants of Interest.’

These variants have driven the latest surge in COVID-19 infections across China and parts of Asia.

Among the recent COVID-19 surge in India, the most common variant is JN.1, reported among 53% of all the samples tested. It is followed by the BA.2 variant, which has 26% of cases and other Omicron sublineages, found among 20% of infections.

The Rekha Gupta-led government in the national capital recently issued an advisory asking all hospitals in Delhi to prepare for adequate availability of beds, oxygen, essential medicines and vaccines.

Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said that authorities were trying to figure out whether those who tested COVID-19 positive were residents of Delhi or had a recent travel history.

The advisory has mandated Delhi hospitals to ensure functional ventilators, Bi-PAP machines, oxygen concentrators and PSA plants.
