The JN.1 variant, classified as a variant of interest (VOI) by the World Health Organisation (WHO) due to its rapid spread, is currently present in more than 41 countries, including India. In our current conditions, across North India and especially in Delhi NCR, we have 2 respiratory threats in the air – Air Pollution and COVID (with the JN.1 strain).
