Thursday's case count is 3,221 more than that of Wednesday's when 50,848 cases were recorded. However, the deaths on Thursday are 37 less than that of Wednesday when 1,358 people succumbed to the viral disease.

Even though the daily cases and deaths in India are ebbing, the country is now grappling with an increased spread of the Delta Plus variant, also known as 'AY.1' variant or B.1.617.2.1.

Forty cases of the variant have been reported in India so far. The Union health ministry said on Wednesday that the variant has been "observed sporadically" in Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. Apart from these, Jammu and Kashmir and the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have also reported cases of the AY.1 variant.

Health secretary Rajesh Bhushan wrote a letter to the chief secretaries of Maharashtra, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh, requesting them to take up immediate containment measures. Bhushan said the Delta plus variant has been found in Bhopal and Shivpuri districts of Madhya Pradesh, Ratnagiri and Jalgaon districts of Maharashtra, and Palakkad and Pathanamthitta districts of Kerala.

"You are requested to take up immediate containment measures in these districts and clusters including preventing crowds and intermingling of people, widespread testing, prompt tracing as well as vaccine coverage on a priority basis," the health secretary said in the letter.

A total of 301,626,028 people have been vaccinated against the Covid-19 disease till now of which 248,224,925 have received the first dose and the remaining 53,401,103 have received both doses, according to the health ministry. Of the total vaccinations, nearly 6.5 million people were inoculated in the last 24 hours.
