The current situation was reviewed with experts from various health agencies in this meeting, and according to sources, the Government of India has become alert in view of the increasing cases in Asian countries.
The meeting held on Monday was attended by experts from the National Center for Disease Control, Emergency Medical Relief Division, Disaster Management Cell, Indian Council of Medical Research and central government hospitals. According to official sources, it was made clear in the meeting that the situation of Kovid-19 in India is currently under control. As of May 19, 2025, the number of active cases of Kovid-19 in the country is 257, which is very low in terms of the large population.
