According to a report published Monday (May 26) by Indian news outlet NDTV, a total of 1,009 cases have been recorded nationwide. The capital city, Delhi, has reported at least 104 cases, with 99 of them surfacing just within the past week.

Kerala tops the list of most affected states, registering 430 cases. Maharashtra follows with 209 infections, while Delhi ranks third. Other affected states include Gujarat (83 cases), Karnataka (47), Uttar Pradesh (15), and West Bengal (12).
