India is now on alert after experiencing 164 new COVID-19 cases since May 12, amid the resurgence of the infectious disease in Southeast Asia.
A review meeting was held on Monday in the wake of rising cases. It featured experts from the National Centre for Disease Control, Emergency Medical Relief division, Disaster Management Cell, Indian Council of Medical Research, and central government hospitals. They confirmed that the situation in the country was ‘under control’.
According to PTI, “The meeting concluded that the current COVID-19 situation in India remains under control. As of May 19, 2025, the number of active COVID-19 cases in India stands at 257, a very low figure considering the country's large population. Almost all of these cases are mild, with no hospitalisation required."
The Union Health Ministry remains vigilant as it continues to monitor the situation meticulously.
