Legionnaires’ disease outbreak has shaken New York City, killing five and infecting more than 100 residents across Central Harlem. Health officials have traced the bacteria to contaminated cooling towers as hospitals continue treating dozens of patients. While the city claims cases are slowing, fear and uncertainty are spreading faster than the infection itself.

Covid Jn.1 variant has been making news due to its rapidly spreading rate. Maharashtra on 25th December reported 50 Covid cases of which nine are JN.1 infections. This has left many people wondering - when it comes to Covid Jn.1 variant - should we be worried? Senior health officials said that there is no move to recommend administration of vaccine booster dose for India. When it comes to tests and treatments, regular Covid-19 test and treatments are expected to work on JN1. But will that be enough? What are the symptoms of Covid Jn.1 variant and what are the chances of recovery? Is this new variant a threat to global health?
