Covid-19 declared endemic in India amidst falling cases

India Jun 22, 2025

India's COVID-19 situation has officially moved into the "endemic" phase. Instead of big waves, we're now seeing smaller, local outbreaks.
Right now, active cases are low—about 5,012—and fatalities are rare, so things are pretty stable.

COVID-19 now acts more like a seasonal illness

Most new infections are from Omicron sub-variants that spread fast but usually cause only mild symptoms.
Thanks to vaccines and past infections, most people have good immunity and severe cases are uncommon.
Experts say COVID-19 now acts more like a seasonal illness—immunity fades every few months, so occasional spikes can happen.
If you're vulnerable or feeling unwell during these times, it's smart to avoid crowds and stick to basic precautions.
