India reported 114 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, according to the Union Health Ministry’s update on Sunday. The country currently has 870 active cases, with one new fatality reported in Maharashtra. The resurgence in cases comes after a period of double-digit daily infections until December 5, with the rise attributed to the emergence of a new variant and cold weather conditions.

The highest number of new cases and fatalities were recorded on May 7, 2021, with 4,14,188 cases and 3,915 deaths reported. Since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, the country has seen over 4.5 crore infections and more than 5.3 lakh deaths.
