Health experts indicate that while current figures remain considerably lower than previous surges, the rising numbers highlight the importance of maintaining preventive health protocols.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration approved the new vaccine for individuals aged 65 and above, as well as people between 12 and 64 years who have at least one health condition increasing their coronavirus risk.

Dr Rommel Tickoo, director of internal medicine at Max Hospital Saket, stated that India's current case numbers did not warrant immediate vaccination. He suggested that vulnerable groups might need it eventually, but not the general population. He added that authorities would assess further steps if cases rise.
