SunstarTV Bureau: After administering the number of daily Covid infections in India approaches 40,000, AIIMS director warned that the second wave of the pandemic in India is still ongoing, on Friday.
The potential of a third wave in India is dependent on how well people adhere to Covid-appropriate behaviour.
“I would suggest that people should understand that the second wave of the pandemic is not over yet. Daily, we are getting more than 40,000 cases. It is important for everyone to follow Covid-19 appropriate behaviour. If we follow this, then another wave will not come,” Dr Guleria said.
Amid the second wave of the pandemic, which began at the end of March and peaked in early May, India saw record deaths and people scrambling for healthcare facilities and medical oxygen.
The number of cases dropped in the following weeks and has been hovering around 40,000 for the last month, prompting the Centre to announce that the pandemic’s second wave is still ongoing.
The impact will be less severe than what India experienced in April and May.
