A 21-year-old woman from Narayanganj in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandla district has died due to COVID-19, marking the fourth such fatality in the state within a week. Similar deaths were recently reported from Indore, Ratlam, and Khargone, prompting serious concern in the state health department.
Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Sanjay Mishra said the woman had been admitted to Jabalpur Medical College for a caesarean section. After the surgery, she experienced a drop in oxygen levels and was shifted to the ICU. She tested positive for COVID-19 and was moved to the Medicine ICU for isolation, where she later died. Mishra added that the woman had a history of breathing difficulties over the past three years, which made her condition more critical.
In Jabalpur, 79 COVID tests have been conducted so far, with three individuals testing positive. Among them was an 80-year-old man from Katni, admitted for heart treatment, who has since recovered and been discharged. Another case involved a 32-year-old patient from Madan Mahal, who has also recovered after five days of treatment. The third case was the aforementioned pregnant woman from Narayanganj.
Currently, Madhya Pradesh has nearly 200 COVID-19 cases, with 134 active cases and four deaths reported. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), four new variants of COVID-19 have been identified in India: LF.7, XFG, JN.1, and NB.1.8.1 series. The JN.1 variant is the most prevalent, found in more than half of the samples tested, and is known to weaken immunity.
