A case of COVID-19 sub-variant JN.1 was detected from the sample of a 79-year-old woman in Kerala on December 8, official sources said on Saturday.
The senior citizen’s sample had returned a positive result in an RT-PCR test taken on November 18, they said, adding that she had mild symptoms of influenza-like illnesses (ILI) and had recovered from COVID-19. More than 90 per cent of the cases in India at present are mild, the sources said.
