Hindustan Times  

After the first Covid case in a “long time” in Jammu city on Thursday, contact tracing and testing till Friday returned negative tests, said government medical college and hospital principal Dr Ashutosh Gupta. He has been kept in home isolation and his sample has been sent to Pune for genome sequencing to see if it as new JN.1 sub variant,” said Dr Gupta. On December 20, health and medical education secretary Bhupinder Kumar reviewed the Covid preparedness of the public health system across Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in light of the advisory issued by the Union health ministry following the JN.1 sub-variant’s emergence. He asked all the heads of departments concerned and chief medical officers to activate Covid testing facilities, conduct ample testing following the revised surveillance strategy, and meticulously report influenza-like illness and severe acute respiratory infection cases, while adhering to recommended testing protocols.
