India continues to experience periodic surges of Covid-19 infections, with health experts emphasizing that these waves, occurring roughly every six to eight months, are expected to be manageable and generally low in severity. Dr. Soumya Swaminathan highlighted that more people now die annually from influenza than from Covid-19, prompting discussions on shifting health priorities post-pandemic. In West Bengal, recent data shows a rise in Covid-19 cases, with 82 new infections reported in the last 24 hours.

Notably, the state recorded its first Covid-19 death of the year in Kolkata, involving a woman, marking a concerning development after four years of the pandemic. This death coincides with reports of increasing long-term Covid symptoms among children in the region. Health authorities and medical experts urge caution and readiness rather than panic, emphasizing vigilance and appropriate health measures as the virus persists across India.
