Karnataka has seen an uptick in COVID-19 cases, with the State reporting 80 Active cases, as of Monday. Bengaluru recorded the highest number of cases among all districts, with 73 active cases. The remaining cases were reported from Bengaluru Rural (2), Dakshina Kannada (1), Mysuru (3), and Vijayanagar (1).
The state reported 135 positive cases from the 191 tests conducted in the past 24 hours.
At the national level, active COVID-19 cases stood at 1,009 on Monday, according to a Hindu report. This is a significant rise from 257 active cases on May 19, with states such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra reporting a spike.
The NB.1.8.1 variant was detected in Tamil Nadu in April, while four cases of the LF.7 variant were reported in May. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified both LF.7 and NB.1.8.1 as Variants Under Monitoring (VUMs), not as Variants of Concern (VOCs) or Variants of Interest (VOIs). These variants are believed to be driving the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in China and other parts of Asia.
