Seven cases were reported in Maharashtra where six were in Chinchwad and one in Pune, the reports said.
Two cases were detected in Karnataka, one in Gujarat and one in Delhi. The government is holding a high level meeting in Delhi to discuss the issue of giving a booster dose, the reports said.
Meanwhile, Kerala health department blundered by failing to make the contact list of 21 people who came from Russia via Sharjah on November 28.
